1862 September 21, "Eudora," Leesburg, Va.

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



(Sept 21st) Sunday once more; no service
to day in our little church in the neigh-
-borhood, so have the pleasure of the ladies
company at home.  Miss Lizzie has supplied
me with some excellent Sunday reading.
Heard this evening that Jackson had
met with a brilliant success in an am-
-buscade, resulting in the complete rout of
an entire Division of the enemy.  The air is quite
cold this evening.  The family spent the evening in
my room.
