Diary of Josephine Shaw Lowell, October 3, 1861

Everything goes on as usual. We have no battle yet, although September has passed, the month in which they were to take place. The weakness of the Rebels is shown, I should think, by that one fact and they keep having doleful accounts of the condition of their army. Uncle William Greene says that “Peace will come upon us like a river.” Would to God it might.
