Friday, Oct 10, 1862.
Bad news yesterday about the battle of Corinth — we met with
a serious disaster. Sister and her three younger children and
servant arrived yesterday evening. I am delighted to have them
with us. Mr. Stuart and Addy are with the army in Kentucky.
A little sprinkle of rain this morning — none to wet the ground well
for months — the country parched up. Indications that our army is
about to move out of the lower Valley. Enemy said to be threa-
tening the Va. Central Railroad again.
