Diary of Margaret Junkin Preston: December 8, 1862

A long hiatus in my little note book. Poor Randolph has been trembling in the balance between life and death ever since my last entry; sometimes the scales seemed descending beyond all hope; again they incline toward the side of life. Today his symptoms are more discouraging.
