1862 September 21, Fauquier County, Va.

[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]

Sunday, September 21, 1862

Tom Williams came to breakfast--All
a mistake, no Yankees in Town

Spent an idle an[d] unprofitable
day--thoughts will come on worldly
things--When will I learn to be
an humble follower of the cross
leaving all things in the hand of
God casting all cares upon Him who
careth for us

Willie Tompkin[?] came by to see Beale
& consented to stay

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

MSS 15406
