1862 September 19 "Eudora," Leesburg, Va.

[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of Letcher's Artillery]


(Sept 19th)  Head does not
ache as much this morning.  Miss Lizzie retur-
-ned with some very pretty flowers & some fine peaches,
she is very kind to me.  Hear various conflicting
reports of the last fights, also that we have with-
-drawn to this side of the Potomac.  Mr. Braden
went up to Wheatland this evening, but heard
no reliable news.  Family spent evening in my room.
