I do not go to church. Tuesday Jabe, Sally and I come home .... Dave goes up Tuesday evening for Lydia. I'm glad she is here and will get acquainted with all my folks. Dave leaves us for his Regiment Wednesday ....Glorious news from the Army! On the 28-29-30 of August we shipped the Yankees again on the plains of Manassas [Second Manassas or Second Bull Run.] We are now fully enroute for Maryland. Our Cavalry made a brilliant charge.
