Diary of Malvina S. Waring, Thursday, February 25, 1865

Mr. Duncan, the doctor, and J. B. L. are indefatigable in their efforts to make us comfortable and happy. We see them every day and, to be more explicit, almost every hour in the day. We call ourselves "The Happy Family." If you ask me wherefore, I can only say, probably because we have so much reason to be unhappy, and yet are not—exactly.
