1862 July 14 Fredericksburg, Va.

[from the diary of Dr. Brodie Strachan Herndon]

14  Luc spends every third night
with dear Nannie Gordon and nurses
her most acceptably.  Poor child.
I fear she will never rise from her
bed again.  She is a smart Christian
woman and very dear to us all
   I receive a letter from my old friend
Miss Ann Maury

Ann Maury, 1803-1876, daughter of James Maury, U. S. consul in Liverpool, 
England for over 40 years, was most noted for her extensive genealogical work on the Maury family.

MSS 2563-b
