1862 October 14 "Eudora," near Leesburg, Va.

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

(Oct 14th)  Again have to register a
cloudy morning.  Feel rather better than did yesterday.
James went to Leesburg for Mrs P-.  Miss L-
sent to borrow for me a Greek lexicon from
Rev. Mr Williams library.  Jas. returned
with it, did not see Dr Jackson.  Wrote let-
-ter this morning, to Jennie, Ma, & Uncle
Jas.  This afternoon wrote Florrie & sent
off all the letters & a paper to Wheatland
to go by Mr Milton tomorrow morning.
Has continued cloudy all day but no rain.
Sat up this afternoon.  Feel somewhat bet-
-ter, but very tired.  Miss L- sat part the morning

with me and did me the favor to mend
my overcoat.  Miss L. – Jeannette & Mrs P sat the
evening with me.
