1862 August 4 Clarke County,Va.

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

Monday, August 4th
The warmest day I have felt this summer.  I got up early to work on a pair of pantaloons for Fez.  Before breakfast a message came from Longwood saying Cousin William Nelson was there so we went up and stayed to dinner.  Returned home about five o'clock and had to finish the pantaloons which Dr. H took down to the river to Fez. Cousin William was very pleasant and agreeable
