June 9-15
No church. Too warm to try the waggon. Sam with us in the evening. So many trains of cars today; soldiers being sent West-East. Gen. [Harry A.] Wise in command. Hope he will fight both with his tongue and hands. A letter to Mr. Brown from brother Jabe. There is some possibility of the army at Harper's Ferry taking up the line of march for Baltimore when they get a little stronger. In a few days they expect to number 50,000. He was still busy with the measles. On Wednesday the letter from Bob written at Culpepper Court House comes to hand. A letter from Sue and the last of the week we hear from my dear little Sis. She seems very anxious to be with us but thinks she will have to wait until lst of July as she will not be able to get an escort before then. Oh, how happy I am at the prospect of having her with us so soon. Two whole weeks yet, but I must be patient. Finish reading the Queens of Society and The Dolls and Beaux of Society. Enjoy them much. Throw myself away on novels this week. Don't feel at all satisfied with myself-it is so much time yet. The Montgomery Guards leave tomorrow the 15th for Manassas
