[from the diary of Matthella Page Harrison as transcribed at a later date]
Today the second battle of Manassas was fought. Today we heard that our troops had
retaken Manassas on Tuesday. They took a good many prisoners. The president has
issued a message calculated to give great satisfaction after all the fault that has
been found. The Saratoga girls came yesterday to spend some time I hope.
The Yankees left Winchester today--Sept. 3rd.
