March 26.—Moses Compton has just died; he was a member of the First Alabama Regiment . I have written to his father, in Blount County, Alabama, and sent a lock of his son’s hair, which I always do when I can.
I have only put the names down here of those to whom I have paid the most attention. I take no note of those whom Mrs. W. attends, nor of any who have special friends here.
