Notes

Entry for Oct. 6, 1862 (vol. 1, p. 164), applauds the robbery of a "Jew store" in Richmond of $8,000 worth of merchandise ("The prejudice is very strong against the extortionists ..."). In addition, there are scattered references to Judah P. Benjamin, Abraham Charles Myers, Gustavus A. Myers, and alleged Jewish war profiteering.
