1862 December 19 [Clarke County, Va.?]

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

Friday, December 19th--Today I returned from a delightful trip to Richmond, accom-
panied by Fez and Kate Conrad.  Found my darlings well and trust I am thankful for
it.  Last Thursday commenced the bloody struggle at Fredericksburg.  God has again
given us the victory over them.  We went to the battlefield at Wiers Cave.
