February 11 - From the diary of John B. Jones, Rebel War Clerk, Confederate War Dept. Richmond, VA
Some idea may be formed of the scarcity of food in this city from the fact that, while my youngest daughter was in the kitchen today, a young rat came out of it's hole and seemed to beg for something to eat; She held out some bread, which it ate from her hand, and seemed grateful. Several others soon appeared, and were as tame as kittens. Perhaps we shall have to eat them!
