Yesterday brought news of the capture of Winchester by
Ewell. Two ladies, refugees from the neighborhood of Winchester, who have been
here for some months, called on me this morning. They say they are heart-sick
of exile, and long to fly home. W. F. J. here for dinner; is just back from the
army; says the religious interest is wonderfully great; had strangers to follow
him often about camp, to ask about their souls' salvation. . . .
