1862 September 25 Clarke County, Va.

[from the diary of Matthella Page Harrison as transcribed at a later date]

Thursday, September 25

My journal has been sadly neglected of late.  Company and many cares have occupied
me.  Kate spent a week with me.  Last Monday Fez came home sick and is still so.
Cousin Fanny Graham came on Monday and stayed until today.  I have five sick
soldiers, one Georgian and four Alabamians.  Last Monday Jackson had an engagement
with them in which he was victorious.  I know nothing of the particulars.
