Saturday, July 4, 1863


Wakened by the Parkersburg Cannon firing National Salute.  I feel too anxious about Rufus to think of much of anything else.  He is 25 years old today.  May God have him in his holy keeping.
A train down with Co. B. Governor’s Guards.  Also an artillery train with all their accoutrements.  Roads muddy from a heavy rain this afternoon.
