1862 July 4 Fredericksburg,Va.

[from the diary of Dr. Brodie Strachan Herndon]

                                    4th Day
celebrated by Yankees, tho they
have not much heart for hilarity
Every body engrossed with the great
battles and anxious for loved ones in
them.  Mother & I spend evening
at Charles'.  He & Lucy take their
fate (loss of servants) very patiently.

MSS 2563-b
