1862 May 11
[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of the Letcher Artillery]
May 11th
Quite cool this morning & wind blow-
-ing hard. Wrote a letter this morning
to Miss Anne B___. After dinner rode over
with Ellis Mumford to Genl Anderson’s
HeadQuarters. In afternoon wrote
a letter to Jennie. In evening Tanner
was here, and we had some sacred mu-
-sic.
