Saturday. Aug. 10

The report of the capture of Wise is unfounded.  Ephe came down this morning.  His mother and Marion went back with him.  He came down again on the evening train with Mr. Morse and Dr. Fulton, Augusta Cutler's husband.  A very hard rain.


Peggy's comments:
Rumors were quite common and Julia seems increasingly skeptical of reports from the battlefront.

Family members continue to come and go to the Old Stone House that Julia called home.  Her sister, Sarah Cutler Dawes had been raised there and Sarah's son Ephe (Ephraim Dawes)  had lived there for the first 10 years of his life and always considered it to be home.
