Clear and warm. Still unwell today. The Rebel army busy crossing at various points on the Potomac. Lee's headquarters still in Hagerstown, but the troops going to Williamsport and Shepherdstown. We hear much of Lee's equipment has crossed over together with much livestock. Some troops come in this morning and moved towards Greencastle. About 3,000 passed thru Mercersburg. The town in confusion. Many of our females show little self-respect. You see them bareheaded, mingling with the crowd, and a number of them hanging on the arms of strange soldiers. It is amazing that the parents allow this to take place. Perhaps it is condoned under the guise of patriotism, but this usually ends in the ruin of these daughters. Tonight, Gen Couch arrived amid much cheering. The speeches they give are politically slanted and do nothing toward ending the war and healing our wounds. END William Heyser
