Dear Dairy April 30, 1863
Yes, there I hope! Thomas (Stonewall) Jackson was shot! I must admit, the expectation of a freer future for us, slaves, just rose in my mind for just a little while, though. In melancholy, I just realized that the south will win due to a misfire of one of Stonewall Jackson's troops accidently shooting him in one of his limbs. Because of the friendly fire, Jackson will get his arm amputated soon. This is devastating. When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace and death a duty. We all have come to the end of our ropes, no what do I do? Tie a knot
