[from the diary of Mary S. Boydon of "Hopedale," Albemarle County, Va.]
Tuesday 2nd Ma & Lilla went to Charville--Ma
succeeded in getting a black calico dress & some
crape--Every thing exorbitantly high--Hanson's
company between Orange Ct Ho & Fredericksburg
A battle daily expected. Burnside is urged
forward by all the power of the northern fa=
=natics, but as yet advances not--God protect
& keep our loved one, & make him a useful
Christian
Precept-"Cleave unto the Lord"--Acts.11:23
Prayer- "Up Lord, & let not man have the upper hand."
Promise-The patient abiding of the meek shall
not perish forever " Ps. 9:18
MSS 4208
