Miss Priscilla Larkin: The Civil War Diary of a Southern Belle:
Thurs 17th-- Can scarcely content myself-- have nothing to employ my mind, will go to Cousin Williams to spend the night.
Friday 18th-- Good news, Cousin William saw a gentleman up town-- who walked from Chattanooga, by the by-- walked from Larkinville today, He states-- though very confidentially-- That Kerby Smith is at Chattanooga with five thousand men, has four thousand between Bridgeport and C. and as soon as they rebuild the bridge between those places-- he will with thirty six engines proceed immediately to retake Murfrees. and Nashville, then come on here and whip the Yanks from this place, I only hope it is reliable
