[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]
Wednesday, July 30, 1862
I got up as soon as I wakened as I am
all alone now & have my little folks
to dress before breakfast--
I feel sad this morning--this is so
different from my usual visit home=It
is no visit. I am here for an indefinite time-
& you are far, far, away. Pa received a
letter from Nat on Tuesday mentioning that
he had seen you in Richmond & you looked
pale; - - -
We talked & talked all day I could
neither read nor write--& writing this
the next Tuesday--must go on & hastily
fill up the pages till that day-
[as partially transcribed by her granddaughter Anne Madison Wright Baylor in 1972]
