1862 May 27 Clarke County,Va.

[from the diary of Matthella Page Harrison as transcribed at a later date]

Tuesday, May 27th
I was awakened this morning by heavy footsteps.  Immediately thought it was Fez and was not mistaken.  Now I am indeed happy, free from thralldom and both of my brothers with me.
