1862 September 6 "Eudora," near Leesburg, Va.

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


(Sept. 6th)  Suffer a good deal with pains in
my head & joints  fever still continues, do not
feel any better.  My Mouth and throat very dry
took some bluemass at Mr Bradens sug-
-gestion.  My two kind nurses, Miss Lizzie
Dulaney & Mrs. Peyton, alternate in bring-
-ing me my meals, and every thing that
imagination can suggest they bring me to
tempt my fancy; but still have very little
appetite.  Mr Gregg came over again to see me
this evening.
