[from the diary of William M. Blackford, former diplomat,editor, and bank officer, Lynchburg, Va., with five sons in the Confederate Army]
Friday 4 Spring like day--as free
from exciting rumors as yesterday
very long & interesting letter from
Lanty, giving an account of the
Battle of 23d in which he participated
very actively and was much exposed
He describes what he saw with great
clearness and effect. It ought to
be published.
