1862 August 27 "Clifton," Fauquier County, Va.

[from the diary of Anne Page Willis Ambler]

Willie Ryland came to day & brings
the same news says several gentlemen
have come to Clarke from the army--
I hope & pray sincerely that we
may gain the victory.   It is thought
the fight has already begun.

[as transcribed in 1972 by her granddaughter Anne Madison Wright Baylor]

MSS 15406
