Sabbath August 4

Last night, about 11 o'clock William got home unexpectedly as we supposed he did not leave Washington until Friday and coming by way of Harrisburg we did not expect him before Monday night as he never travels on the Sabbath.  But he left Thursday and so got home Saturday night. He has been sick but is better now.  We were very thankful to see him safe at home again.  About midnight a very long train of cars passed down which went up today in two detachments having on board the 22nd Ohio regiment.  Oren Newton preached today a patriotic sermon.  I was sick and did not hear it.
