1862 September 13 White Post

[from the diary of Wesley Hammond. Co. E., 42nd Virginia "Dixie Greys"]


Saturday 13th – Wagons ordered to leave
Paris.  Came to White Post – take dinner at
Mr. Massey’s – Ladies of White Post seem very much
rejoiced to see our men return after the
despotic reign of Yankees.

[transcript by Mary Roy Dawson Edwards]
