A drove of cattle forded the river & the foot of the Island this morning. The river has begun to rise--has risen more than a foot. There was a fight a few days ago at the Burning Springs.
Mrs. Dawes came home with Annie & will spend the sabbath.
Peggy’s notes:
Burning Springs was 30 miles from Parkersburg in West Virginia and at the time, it was strongly pro-secessionist.
