I rose early and had the boys plow the turnip-patch. We were
just rising from breakfast when Ben Glass rode up with the cry: “The Yankees
are coming. Mrs. Burge, hide your mules!” How we were startled and how we
hurried the Major to his room! [The Yankees did not come that day, but it was
thought best to send Major Ansley away. He left at 2 A. M.]
