Ephe came to tell us goodbye and has gone again to Camp Dennison. Marion went back to town today. She is rather expecting Mr. Hunter this week.
Kate and I went to call at Augustus Bailey's and also went to the graveyard where I planted some roses &c. on Manasseh's grave. Mrs. Moses Scott has just heard of the death of her brother, Douglas Tilton, at Somersville, Va. He was a member of Capt. Moore's Company and died in hospital. It is also said that 1st Lieut. Joseph Kelly of the same Company was buried on the same day at the same place. Our army have retaken Lexington in Missouri.
Peggy's comments:
Ephraim is rejoining his unit, the 53rd Ohio, which has not yet seen active duty.
Marion is a friend (or maybe a relative?) of Sarah Dawes, but I don't know about Mr. Hunter.
Kate and Julia planted roses on the grave of Manasseh Cutler, Julia's brother who died at age 12 in 1822.
