Received the shirts she sent by Mr. Lefebvre. Will be sending a package back via him to include white cotton for 4 shirts for Bob and a piece of linen. Met Martha Page. Mr. Sheldon had just come up from Gloucester with news that the Yankees had committed more deprivations in that county. Met Mrs. Peachy for the first time since leaving Williamsburg. Presumed that she was unhappy to see him looking well and in health. Heard that General Wise has gone down to Williamsburg and was driving the Yankees south. Presumes that Wise has taken Fort Magruder. Sees Julia Johns. Memminger says he sorry about his position and that he could not find something more worthy. Doubts sincerity of remark. The bread riots were real…”is war not a bread riot…” war is “…merely the pretext for plunder..”
