[from the diary of Matthella Page Harrison as transcribed at a later date]
Monday August 18th
A very cool day. Jobbed about, weeded my flowers &c. Was pasting in my scrapbook
this evening when thunder peals of cannonade sounded in my ears. Thought Winchester
must have been blown up but saw no smoke. Fifteen Yankees were in Millwood this
morning. I heard of nothing they did. Returned quietly too Berryville. Took tea at
Prospect Hill.
