Wednesday, July 1, 1863


William went out to Chillicothe.  Men at work in hay field.  Very warm.  William Cutter of the 77th O. V. I. here to day--  Miss Louisa Carpenter and the Misses Merwins called.  Gave them bouquets which they proposed to keep for commencement tomorrow.  Miss Greenwood called--she seemed sad--she has much to make her so.

Peggy's Comments:
Today was the first day of fighting at Gettysburg.  Julia's nephew, Rufus R. Dawes, was fighting at the railroad cut.
