1862 September 24, Fauquier County, Va.

[from the diary of Anne Madison Willis Ambler]

Soon after breakfast Robert & Isaiah
presented themselves again--But I feel
out of sorts - Can not enjoy their
company -- You leave us to morrow,  I
feel uneasy, for I do not think
you are exactly well enough--at least
a months more rest is needed--I wish
you could stay--
  Nat came to dinner took a large snack
to his mess, & got permission to return &
spend the night--
  After tea a "small" courier
rode up & asked permission to spend
the night--his name is Dean from
Richmond............
  I fixed all of your things so
you would have no trouble in
the morning.

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