[from the diary of Matthella Page Harrison as transcribed at a later date]
Thursday, September 18
This was a Thanksgiving Day appointed by our President. We had services but no sermon as Mr. Jones was sick. This evening we heard terrific fighting had been going on for four days between McClellan and our whole army.
