A hot day. Lucy went to town. Rebels under Gen. Jubal Early, last Saturday, burned Chambersburg Pa, a town of 6000 inhabitants, destroying 250 houses and over $1,000,000 of property.
Peggy's note:
The main effect of the raid and burning of Chambersburg, PA was for calls for retaliation against the South. More information here.
