1862 June 6 Millwood, Va.

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

Friday June 6th
Jackson reported at Woodstock.  700 Yankees in Winchester.  Banks' and Siegle's division are breaking into houses and stores at will.  God help our poor downtrodden land.  I expect to go to the Briars this evening.

MSS 9759
