1862 May 29 Clarke County, Va.

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

Thursday May 29, 1862

Yet another delightful day.  The boys have been visiting around.  It is so pleasant to expect them back at night.  It is reported that our troops have taken possession of Harper's Ferry. There was a little skirmish at Charles Town yesterday.  We took some prisoners and killed a few.
