[from the diary of William M. Blackford, bank officer and former diplomat with five sons in the Confederate Army]
Sunday 9. Fine day--Large congrega-
tion--Mr. Kinckle very hoarse &
unable to preach at night.
Mr. Macon who has been here
since 24 ult
S.S. cars this afternoon for home
having been examined by the medi
-cal Board & been furloughed on
account of his health. He started
too late & was unable to get his
baggage on board which was
brought back--went to Sues and
spent an hour--at night with
Eugene D went to 4th Street Metho
dist church and heard a very
[?] feeble tedious sermon from
a Protestant Methodist whose name
I did not learn.
