From Miss Priscilla Larkin: The Civil War Diary of a Southern Belle:
'Tis rumored that, five of the Larkinville Guards were killed." "...what sad afflictions upon the families, still, how consoling to know they fell in a noble and glorious cause...".
Wednesday [July] 16, Shocking news, Can it be possible--Billie Robinson has died from the wound received at the battle of Richmond, 'Gone to that bourne from whence, no traveller returns.'
Saturday 19, Cheering news, The report of Mr Robinson's death all false, he is improving, hope he will continue so.
