1862 September 27 "Eudora," near Leesburg,Va.

[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of Letcher's Artillery]
  
   (Sept 27th) Quite cold this morning and
the ladies say, will move me into another
room that has a fireplace in, this evening.
Mr Braden went to Lovettsville this morning,
promised to try and get me some articles
from there.  Returned this evening & succeed-
-ed in getting me some flannel, cloth for
pants & 2 linen handkerchiefs, for all of
which am very thankful, was fearful I
would be able to get nothing of the sort here.
The ladies spent the evening with me,
& afterwards was moved in to a room on the
front of the house, from windows of which
there is a beautiful view of the country –
around.
