A cloudy, drizzling day. Raked off the leaves from the front yard. Had the palpitation of the heart -- -- Last night about 11 o’clock the cannon at Fort Boreman began to boom, and continued firing until midnight -- Probably unionists rejoicing over Lincoln’s re-election -- Rained all last night.
Peggy's note: Fort Boreman was across the river in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
