[from the diary of William M. Blackford, bank officer and former diplomat with five sons in the Confederate Army]

Tuesday 29  Mr. Willimason left us this
morning–though not recovered enough
I think to travel.  Telegraph from
Wm saying part of Marys baggage
had not come to hand.  I am glad to
find he was in the city. Nothing of
any importance–not a telegram
of any kind.
