Good Friday, March 25.—It has poured down rain all day. Dr. Adams had prayers in the Coweta House.
I have bought a number of home-made socks and stockings. The socks cost two dollars per pair, and the stockings five dollars. Many of the poorer class of country people round here earn their living by knitting these articles and weaving cloth. There is no appearance of poverty among the people in this town. With the exception of tea, coffee, and fresh beef, they seem to want for nothing. Nearly all have plantations a short distance from town, on which they raise stock of all kinds. I believe it is the same in all of the small towns in Georgia where the enemy has not been.
We have a great deal of trouble at present about our money. Bills above five dollars are heavily discounted. We are to have a new issue soon. It is said it will be a great improvement on the old.
