We have just heard that Gen. Smith, Col. Williamson, and
Col. Gilham with some of the Cadets have been taken prisoners! Where is my
husband? Where is Frank? If our house is burned to night, and we hear of my
husband being captured or killed, what will life be worth? God protect and have
mercy upon us all! To whom can we look but Thee!
