1862 September 14, Fauquier County, Va.

[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]

Sunday, September 14, 1862

Fannie rode to town with you to
attend church--heard a sermon
from bro. C[harles] & dined at Mr Keyeses

Spent a pleasant day, enjoyed reading
& nursing more than usual--.

One thing I have been lazy about, is
sleeping late in the morning ever since
you came home-...

  We heard cannon all day--I suppose it
must have been at the Ferry, & was
astonished when Fanny came to
hear they had not heard a sound of it
in Town.

[as transcribed in 1972 by her granddaughter Anne Madison Wright Baylor]

MSS 15406
