[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of Letcher's Artillery]
(Sept 24th) Quite cool this
morning. Feel about same as did yesterday. Saw
a Baltimore paper of the 22nd inst. saw the Yankee
account of the battle of last week, they say they
were complete victories as usual; they are a most
self satisfied set & if they are not actually routed they
gain a complete victory, if they are, it is a masterly
retreat. Sat up a little while this morning. My head
aches considerably this afternoon. Quite cold.
