Monday, July 6, 1863

This is an anxious day with us. We apprehend disastrous news from Pennsylvania notwithstanding the favorable reports of Saturday--

Kate came on evening train. From the published lists of killed & wounded in the 1^st Army Corp on Wednesday we hope Rufus came safely through that fearful battle. Today’s news makes victory certain for the Potomac Army. God be praised.

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

On April 12, 1861, Julia P. Cutler was living in Constitution, Ohio, six miles from Marietta. An avid reader, Julia Cutler was also an avid letter writer--and she kept journals. When news of the fall of Fort Sumter reached the Old Stone House in Ohio on April 13, 1861, Julia Cutler began a journal. She wrote nearly every day throughout the duration of the Civil War. Her entries record news about the politics and battles of the war, but also include family and domestic concerns. Julia Cutler's journals were preserved by Mary Frances Dawes Beach, the daughter of Rufus R. Dawes. Mary Dawes Beach typed the entries for the first two years of the Civil War and those typescripts were passed down in the family. The original journals were donated to the Special Collections Library of Marietta College.
