Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes

Flat Top Mountain, June 12, 1862. Thursday.—A warm, bright, seasonable morning. Heard of Fremont’s battle near Port Republic. As yet doubtful as to the result; shall look anxiously for the next news. . . . The battle before Richmond looks better, the more we see of it.
