Diary of Josephine Shaw Lowell: September 9, 1862

Nothing looks bright and cousin John who went up yesterday and returned today, said all Boston is as “blue as indigo.” The enemy has been reinforced and now they say they intend to march on Philadelphia and New York, though I think that's all talk, for how can they get North if we couldn't get South?
