The Diary Journals

This will be a real series of excerpts for civil war diaires fron Jan 1, 1864...mixed 
with my diary journals from 1967-NOW...
there will be no censoring, so tender minds may wish to avoid.....

The first entry is from Jan 1st, 1864;
     A driving rain storm, and this is the first day of a New Year.  I am all alone, and 
have felt very lonesome all day, and hope today is not a sample of the coming or 
future years.  I was so hoping Jerrie---would come out tonight, but the last train 
came and so perished my hopes of his coming tonight.
