1862 August 2 Clarke County, Va.

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

Tuesday August 2nd

As I did not go to bed untill late, I slept untill I was aroused by a note from Fez saying he had lost his clothes.  I wrote various notes in the day and spent the rest of the day at Upper Longwood.  Got news at night of the Federals being driven back to the Junction.
