[From the diary of Harrison B. Jones, 4th Sergeant of Co. H, 33rd Virginia Infantry]
In camp near Winchester
The morning damp and
cloudy. Mr Shuler & several
came down from Page yesterday,
one of our mess got a box of pro-
visions. Mr. Rippetoe preached
a very good sermon this
evening to the regiment.
We had the presence of four
or five ladies.
Mr. Shuler is presumably the father of Michael Shuler, the Roanoke College student who later became the Company's captain.
Mr. Rippetoe is their captain and a Methodist minister.
