[from the diary of William M. Blackford, bank officer and former diplomat with five sons in the Confederate Army]
Saturday 18 I asked J.C. S. Ferguson
yesterday to go on my board--and told
him to take time to consider it. He
spoke in a very friendly way & I have
no doubt will become [one of our?]
securities. Most gloomie weather.
News more decisive as to the victories
in Kentucky. I have no doubt we
have whipped Banks severely.
Sue still very sick Her woman
[Nanci?] has behaved so badly that it
is indisputably necessary to sell her
She has shown such ingratitude that
I feel no compunction whatever
