July 1st, 1862

Today, around late afternoon, Clarissa came to my house, thrilled. She told me her husband was found and that he had a few wounds but he would survive. He would be able to come home for good in a few weeks. Clarissa was so relieved and ecstatic! I was so happy for her, I could tell now she was beginning to feel a lot better! I am glad that Clarissa's husband was found, I started worrying about her by the way she was acting. It is a blessing he was found, he needed to come home to his wonderful wife and glorious children. Hopefully, when Clarissa's husband comes home I will be able to meet him sometime.

At the commission, there are few soldiers, troops and generals. They all went back to the war, recovering quickly which is quite a good thing. The days are going on very slowly. Emma and I went on a walk and enjoyed a nice picnic. The weather was wonderful, it was very humble and sunny outside. I loved the weather, I wish it was like this more often. Usually, there is a slight breeze that becomes chilly, but today was a very calming, peaceful day. I love the days where I can sit outside, relaxing, have my mind off of all worries and watch the sunset by enjoying a nice hot glass of tea. I haven't had one of those days in awhile, I miss the old times. I'm always stressed out nowadays, there is always something on my mind. Samuel use to be the only one who could make me clear my mind off of everything. He always has the perfect set of words to make me feel better.
