Along
train of Ambulances just arrived with sick soldiers
from Winchester. Bitter cold all day, and cloudy.
General expectation that the war will close in a short time, either
from European intervention, or a change of feeling in the
North. I got a barrel of sugar from Jas. Gordon,
Richmond, a few days ago, at 60c thought I had secured a bargain — The total cost $151.10, including 50c drayage. Last February I got a barrel for less than 13c per pound.
