1862 May 28 Clarke County, Va.

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

Wednesday, May 28th

Another delightful day has passed away.  We had a pleasant prayer meeting at Cousin Jane's, and I could not feel as thankful as I felt I ought to feel at being able to attend such an assemblage in company with my dear brothers, both preserved from sickness and death and brought safely home once more. While in Millwood Cousin Ann Cook passed through and reported Jackson en route for Maryland and MeClellan routed.
