1862 September 22 Fauquier County, Va.

[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]

Got up early- & after reading went to
my work--wanted to make you
another shirt, Cut it out & made it
all in one day-& that too after
f altering the collar of your gray---You & Fannie rode down to
Mr Lacklands-felt very lonesome
without you--What will I do when
your are far, far away again.--
Trust in God, he will keep you.
felt tired--went to bed early

[transcript in 1972 by her granddaughter Anne Madison Wright Baylor]

MSS 15406
