Mrs. Davis is utterly depressed. She said the fall of
Richmond must come; she would send her children to me and Mrs. Preston. We begged
her to come to us also. My husband is as depressed as I ever knew him to be. He
has felt the death of that angel mother of his keenly, and now he takes his
country's woes to heart.
