Emma & I went to town in the carriage
I wanted to get my dress & things from
Mr. Stewarts--
Saw two bodies of cavalry
Called to see Mrs. White & while we were
there a man presented himself &
said he must press my carriage to
send wounded to Winchester. I begged
him not to do it as I was six
miles from home & had no other way to
go & could not stay. "I am sorry Mam
but I am compelled to do"--I said I live
on the Winchester road & will take two men
with me. "Well mam he said that will do"
So we sent the carriage to the Court
House & they only sent us one man, but we
started home for fear of greater delay.
--poor fellow he is from S. C.--seems
heartily tired of the War.--
was quite sick when we reached home.
Pa put him to bed & gave him a nice
julep which seemed to revive him
considerably--said it was just what
he wanted --
His name is Boyd
