1862 September 2 near Fairfax Court House

[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler, Letcher's Artillery]


  (Sept 2nd)
I feel very sick today have no appetite
& continuance of former symptoms.
To day wagons came up and men
were ordered into Camp to cook 4
days rations.  Men in excellent
spirits.  I have laid down all
day, this evening do not feel any
better.  Ate a little this morning
but could not retain it.
