July 8th, 1862

Clarissa's husband came home yesterday! I am so happy for her and her
family. Thomas and Matthew must be so happy, as well. Tonight, I am having them all over for dinner. I knew that since he would've just gotten home,
he wouldn't have wanted to cook food. I have never met Clarissa's husband, so I really wanted to make the dinner nice. I prepared potatoes with gravy,
some stew, and my famous ash cakes. They came a quarter past 5 when Emma and I got to introduce our selves to Clarissa's husband, Wayne. He is a
very firm, tall man. Wayne and I started talking and I asked him if he knew Samuel. He said he did not, I should have figured. There are tons of men
in the camps, it must be very crowded. We all started eating dinner and talked about Clarissa and her family. Emma, Thomas and Matthew didn't seem
too interested, they were having a conversation of their own. Wayne is a very handsome, nice man, I whispered to Clarissa. I have never seen Clarissa
so happy before. I wonder if I look as happy as Clarissa whenever I'm with Samuel. Thomas and Matthew as well, looked happy for the most part.
Besides the fact I could tell they weren't too much interested in the ash cakes. They contained sweet spices and vegetables, in my opinion I love them.
But that's not what matters. Tonight was nice, I'm glad I got to meet Clarissa's husband. They are such a happy, enjoyable family to be around.
