Tuesday, May 6th
[from the diary of Matthella Page Harrison as transcribed at a later date]
This morning when I awoke, I could scarcely realize all that had passed the night before. It was like a vivid dream. This morning when I had dressed, Cousin John, Cousin Mary Nelson and the girls, Mary and Lizzie, came to propose a walk to Moorings to congratulate her on Cousin Bev's visit. We found her rather doleful, fearing he had not gotten in safety through the lines. I trust that the Almighty arms which preserved their incoming will preserve their outgoing. God grant our people will soon return to us in safety.
