I feel angry when I have been tortured to no purpose, as
now. This evening the Cadets and Home Guard are back again without anything
happening to them. I have heard no particulars; last night rumor after rumor
reached us, and at last we became convinced that they were really on the
return. Imboden had a slight skirmish with the enemy, but whether any of the
Rockbridge forces took part in it, I don't know. Mr. P. has not returned;
stayed to hunt deer on the mountain, as he failed to find Yankees!
