Sunday, April 16, 1865. Cloudy and quite cold. Lincoln’s murderer is supposed to be one Booth. Johnson took his seat yesterday at 2 o’clock. Seward considered dangerous. The assassin not apprehended yet.
Monday, April 17, 1865. Cloudy and unpleasant. Various rumors reported that General Grant was assassinated also, but it is false I believe. Had bad luck with my chains today. Had two confiscated worth $1.50.
Tuesday, April 18, 1865. General Johnson has not surrendered his army. General opinion is that he will soon. Health of the camp is tolerably good at present.
