[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]
Saturday, August 2, 1862
I took all of my things out of my
trunks & rearranged them--But I took no
pleasure in it--I feel sad- indeed I try
to be cheerful but it is so hard--I have
hoped for the best & it is so, so long & still
the end is far, far, away--Father talked
a great deal about England interfering but
Pa doesnt think there is the least hope--
says they must have corn from the North,
& they will avoid a war with her if
possible----
We found Pattie here with Nellie & Fan
Nellie is a tiny, little ting not as large as
Daisy---
MSS 15406
