1862 September 20 "Eudora," near Leesburg, Va.

[From the diary of Lt. John Tyler of Letecher's Artillery]

(Sept 20th) Feel about same as did yesterday.
     Commenced D’Aubigne’s Cromwell.  Miss Lizzie &
Mrs Peyton took a horse back ride this evening.  Mr.
Gregg was to see me this evening.  The Ladies spent
the evening in my room, I really enjoy their society
very much, am only afraid I take up more
of their time than it is right for one to expect.
