Journal of Meta Morris Grimball, of South Carolina,: December 1860-February 1866

by Meta Morris Grimball, Joe Mitchell (Compilation)

It seems strange that we should be in the midst of a revolution so quiet, and plentiful, & corn for table up here. Everything goes on as usual, the planting, the Negroes, all just the same; & a great Empire tumbling to pieces about us; and a great pressure in the money market in all parts of the country; westrange to say; were never so easy, and I hope thankful. Went yesterday to see Charlotte, Mrs Wayne, & Papa found the last at home, Charlotte had gone up to Mrs Barings on a visit. They think of purchasing a place in Buncomb and of Mrs B's place. Mrs Wayne begged to be excused she was putting her garret to rights. Charles is coming up to day on his way to Philadelphia to bring Mrs Britten & Elizabeth home. I have made up my mind now for E to remain until January and do not care for her to come before.
