Old Mr. Coll has heard of the death of his son David Coll. He enlisted in the 92d Regiment last summer and died in camp at March 18.
Peggy's comments:
Julia's entries in her journal have been brief, with very little information about the war. Not only had there been a bit of a lull in the fighting, but Julia, along with many others, seem weary of the war.
On a side note, Julia's nephew Rufus Dawes, who had recently been on leave in Marietta, had spent some of his time calling on Miss Mary Gates. He returned to camp near Belle Plaine, Virginia, and on March 24, 1863 he wrote to Mary and asked her to correspond with him. She sent him a letter declining his offer to correspond.
