1862 May 7 near Millwood, Clarke Co., Va.

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

A windy but bright day.  Rode down to Glenvin. Found Susie quite sick.  Mary G. dined with me.  cousin Mary N. and Liz too unwell to come.  We drove in the buggy to Prospect Hill fearing all the time that we would be overtaken by the horse thieves.  Mary returned to tea with me and sat up very late writing letters to send to Winchester.
