"Mary Chesnut’s Diary, Edited by Isabella D. Martin and Myrta Lockett Avary"

I see that Mary Chesnut's diary began on February 28, so this is among her first entries.
I also see where she will move with her husband to Montgomery, Richmond and Charleston -- am guessing this entry is from... Montgomery...?

"They will be glad to promote him here..."

"Here" meaning in Montgomery, to a Confederate military position, right?
