Monday 7th
Snowing rapidly this morning, continued throughout the day, one of the worst storms of the season. At home all day and evening.
Tuesday 8th
Good sleighing this eighth of April. Snowed almost all day. Ironed and baked, worked in the kitchen most of the day. Went to the Lodge in the evening. Had quite a discussion in regard to the propriety of using liquors for culinary purposes. Mr. Hastings and Joseph Pickard also Mr. Scofield spoke on the question.
Wednesday 9th
News of a terrible battle at Pittsburgh Landing came this morning. Wisconsin is said to have had six regiments engaged. The reports say we have lost 20,000 killed and wounded the rebels 10,000, but it must be exaggerated. Much anxiety is felt in regard to the Sixteenth Regiment reported to have been taken prisoners by the enemy at the commencement of the engagement. The battle occurred on Sunday and Monday resulting in the total rout of the enemy with terrible loss. Went to my German lesson staid afterwards and played a game of chess with Miss Crocker. Came home accompanied by Miss C and we all went up to the Assembly Chambers to assist in preparing and packing articles of necessity and comfort for our wounded. There were a great many persons present, and a large amount of work was done. Gov. Harvey goes tomorrow with wagons and supplies. I went home with Miss Crocker played chess until tired and then went to bed.
Thursday 10th
Came home this morning sewed and crocheted all day. Stayed at home and played chess in the evening. News today is that our loss is about 10,000, enemies 15,000 and this a moderate estimate.
