Thanks for posting this, Roger. What beautiful handwriting and sincere thoughts - whether modern society agrees or not! I suspect that you would find her sentiments on the mind and tongue of the majority of Southerners in late-April, 1865.

As for Mary Boykin Chestnut, I never did care for the lady, despite the fact that her writings give insight into upper class views of the war. There is just something about her tone that irritates me.
