[from the diary of Charles Hay of the 23rd Ohio]
Upton’s Farm, Sep. 5.
Rumors have it that the rebels threaten
a raid into Maryland, and intend crossing
at Conrad’s Ferry, Point of Rock’s or
Berlin, or all three, and march through
into Pennsylvania. The rumor appears
to be well founded, as the enemy appears
to have withdrawn from our front,
and it may be intends to operate in that
quarter. If so, he has work ahead.
