[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of Letcher's Artillery]
(Sept 13th)
Took some more blue mass to day, feel a little
better. Finished the “Lost Principle”
commenced, “Quentin Durward”, one of the Wa-
-verly. The children came back this morning.
Florrie has a cold. Heard firing again this
morning, but it ceased at 10 o’c. Heard
this evening that Harpers Ferry had surrender-
-ed with 12 or 15 thousand prisoners. Also that our ar-
-my had taken Frederick & destroyed the R. R. bridge
over the Monoccacy river B & O. R. R. Mr Gregg was
up to see me this evening has been sick.
