Drove out with Mrs. “Constitution” Browne, who told us the
story of Ben McCulloch's devotion to Lucy Gwynn. Poor Ben McCulloch — another
dead hero. Called at the Tognos' and saw no one; no wonder. They say Ascelie
Togno was to have been married to Grimké
Rhett in August, and he is dead on the battle-field. I had not heard of the
engagement before I went there.
