[from the diary of Eugene M. Cox of the Albemarle Border Guards]
Sunday 9 A.M. Spent a very disagreeable time last night--had a cold and chilling rain and wind allnight--Thus dawns another Sabbath upon us in the dreary dress of wet and muddy weather. In right good earnest has the season of "Mists and mellow fruitfulness set in upon us--the season of the 'sear and yellow leaf'"--
Genl. Lee arrived at "Meadow Bluff" and will visit this command to-day--the clouds have cleared away and we have the promise of a fine day--9 P.M. Genl. Lee was here this evening to take a general view of our position, etc.
