“These poor boys expect to be ordered to Romney; but wherever they go, they hope, by God’s help, to repel the invaders.”—Diary of a Southern Refugee, Judith White McGuire.

Monday Night.—To-day M. P. and myself went to Winchester, and thence to the camp. We took Mr. P. N’s children to see their father. There we saw W. B., J. M. G., and many other young friends, and were much pleased at their cheerfulness. They look sunburnt and soldierly. I returned to Winchester to see my dear S. S.     R. C. was sitting with her, looking well and happy. Camp-life agrees with him. These poor boys expect to be ordered to Romney; but wherever they go, they hope, by God’s help, to repel the invaders.
