[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of Letcher's Artillery]
(Sept 11th) Do not feel as well this morning, took
some more bluemass, and commenced taking the essen-
-ce of wild cherry bark before each meal, Miss Lizzies
remedy, as tonic. Finished Napoleon today
like it very much. Genl Robt. Wright came
up to see me this evening. He is a gentleman
of very pleasing address, and converses well.
Have heard firing all day long from Harpers Ferry
Miss Lizzie brought me in some very pretty
flowers this evening from the garden the
last of the season. Have felt very badly all
day long.
