1862 August 13 Clarke County, Va.

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

Wednesday, August 13th

A pleasant day.  Prayer meeting at Cousin Jane's.  Cousin Hugh Nelson's death con-
firmed today.  What will be our state when it is over?  How many loved ones in the
tomb--God only knows.  Saw two deserters passed through Millwood this evening.  They
told of a fight near Madison Courthouse last Sunday.  Took tea at Linden.

MSS 9759
