OCTOBER 21, 1863:
Confederate
Joseph Waddell confides to his diary:
“No news from the
various armies to-day . . . —Pennsylvania and Ohio elections have gone in favor
of the Lincoln candidates . . . No hope
for us in any "conservative sentiment" at the North. To end the war
some influence must come from abroad — but where is it to come from? Possibly
France — but "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.”
