1862 July 19 Clarke County, Va.

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

Saturday, July 19

A beautiful day, one of the few lately.  Jane Page spent the day with me.  On dit five thousand Yankees arrived in Winchester today.  I had hoped we were relieved from the wretches.
