1862 October 1 Fauquier County, Va.

[from the diary of Anne Madison Ambler Willis]

Spent the day reading.  Moss Side
after my morning reading & nursing Jack-
I found it very interesting Never read
it before as I did not like the Hidden
Path concluded the author had
lost her freshness & was most agreeably
disappointed to find it was
excellent a most entertaining book-

Moss-Side and the Hidden Path, by Mary Virginia Hawes Terhune, 1830-1922, ( pseudonym Marion Harland ) a popular author of domestic fiction.

[as transcribed in 1972 by her granddaughter Anne Madison Wright Baylor]
