[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of the Letcher Artillery]

May 11th
Quite cool this morning & wind blow-
-ing hard.  Wrote a letter this morning
to Miss Anne B___.  After dinner rode over
with Ellis Mumford to Genl Anderson’s
HeadQuarters.  In afternoon wrote
a letter to Jennie.  In evening Tanner
was here, and we had some sacred mu-
-sic.
