Diary of Margaret Junkin Preston: May 13, 1864

Still no mail from Richmond, and only rumors of the continuous fighting. I feel oppressed and spiritless. No letters from Mr. P.; the enemy are at Salem; if they come on to Lynchburg, Mr. P. is cut off from his home, and I will not even be able to hear from him.
