"I have now nothing on earth of all that I ever possessed but my children; and I would fain have them worthy their country's service and their own race. "I am now among the tens of thousands of our mourning land who have been robbed of everything on earth by the enemies of God and man. General Hunter, in his retreat by this place, ordered the plunder of my house, and was with difficulty restrained by General Averill from burning it and every other building in the Valley. I lost in a single hour the labors of a life time, and with it every single vestige of a happy life in a fair and sufficient home. Every line of love, every token or memorial of the living or the dead is gone; and I can truly say in that hour, too, there was not a sentiment or an affection that the human heart was capable of, whether relating to time or eternity, that was not shocked and insulted by such atrocious brutality as I

The writer had suffered terribly from outrages of the enemy — Hunter's followers having desolated her home — but her spirit and her loyalty rise with her afflictions, and she utters the sentiments and the devotion of true patriotisand their own race. "I am now among the tens of thousands of our mourning land who have been robbed of everything on earth by the enemies of God and man. General Hunter, in his retreat by this place, ordered the plunder of my house, and was with difficulty restrained by General Averill from burning it and every other buildingutality as I really never had any possible conception of, until I saw it exhibited by the diabolical miscreants that I cannot dignify with the name of men.
