Diary of John Beauchamp Jones: June 22, 1864

Dry and pleasant.

The city full of idle rumors that the whole brigade of local troops were captured yesterday—that Gen. Fitz Lee has again been made prisoner, and that another raiding party is threatening the Danville Road, the canal, etc. There is no foundation for any of them, so far as I can learn.
