March 7th, 1865.—Today Captain Simmons was buried in the Tallahassee Cemetery. His poor wife came from her home and fainted at the grave. How horrible war is!
I had an invitation to go on a picnic to Natural Bridge today. How awful! I do not understand such curiosity. General Miller says dead negroes were actually piled upon one another in places and the river was covered with their floating bodies. General Newton commanded the Federals, one of his orders, picked up on the battle field this morning is horrible beyond belief. Let us thank God they were not allowed the opportunity to carry it out.
