1861 October 2

[From the diary of Wesley Hammond, of the Dixie Greys, Co. E of the 42nd Virginia Infantry[

This morning I awake and find
it raining – Rains most of the day –
Spend most of it reading Flavel’s
works. read 16 Chapters in bible.
dress parade in evening – Several
Yankees come to our Camp –
Give rather a distressing account of
their mess -
