Transcription
A very wet disagreeable day in the forenoon wrote a letter to Judie. The President has ordered that 100 guns be fired in honor of our late Victories by Gen. Sherman and his noble army of the time. The heavy sounds from the [illegible], every one seems beaming with life. The prospect. [illegible] brightly, may heaven soon bring the long wished for day of Peace. No news from home. But good news from the great Armies in the field every thing looks so encouraging the end is not yet but soon will be. Late this Evening recieved a letter from Judie annoucing the indictment of my Cousin Johnathan for one year. Answered the same immediately but could not send till the coming morning. --------------------------------- September 6, Tuesday. A very disagreeable day. In the forenoon wrote a letter to Judie. The president has ordered that 100 guns be fired in honor of our late victories by General Sherman and his noble army, at this time the hearty shouts from the Common, every countenance beaming with hope, the prospect burns brightly, may heaven soon bring the long wished for day of peace. [2.] September 7, Wednesday. No news from home but good news from the great armies in the field, every thing looks so encouraging, the end is not yet but soon will be. Late this evening received a letter from Judie announcing the enlistment of my cousin Johnathon for one year, answered the same immediately but could not send till the coming morning. Note: 2. The reference is probably to Sherman’s capture and destruction of Atlanta in September of 1864.Upon receipt of Sherman’s news on September 4, Grant ordered “a salute to be fired with shotted guns from every battery bearing upon the enemy”. Lincoln also ordered a 100 gun salute in Washington although not shotted. Crooks, Terence G. “Transcribed and Annotated Diaries of Henry Oliver Nightingale.” Unpublished manuscript, 2014.
