862 October 1 Clarke County, Va.

[from the diary of Matthella Page Harrison as transcribed at a later date]

Thursday, October 1st

A bright beautiful day.   Cousin James Pollard and Captain Degnet dined here today.
All quiet on the Potomac.  Fez still continues very poorly.  I am so weary of
the cares and troubles of this life, but who is exempt.  None, I know, and I believe
I have as few as most except what proved from my own wicked heart.
