Friday July 5

Lucy went home this morning.  Sarah Emerson with her.  All day trains have been passing with troops, cannon, horses and equipage.  They are the Indiana 15" and 17 regiments.  We counted eighty-nine cars thus loaded.  When called to the battle field may they only be led forth to victory.


Editor's comments:
I'm quite sure that when Julia refers to "the cars" or the "RR" she's referring to rail road cars.  However, the usage of the word "trains" also referred to wagon trains.  I'm not sure if she means wagon trains or RR trains.
