Clear. Troops arriving from Harrisburg. Four Dalgreen pieces of ordinance arrive and taken out to the end of town to be set up. The citizens have formed a few companies for defense, but how effective could they be? More troops have arrived, perhaps a thousand here now. We breathe a little easier. Our hopes are short lived. The troops have all been recalled to Shippensburg, the small battery is run out of town. Excitement is again intense in town. A meeting is held of prominent men, to face the enemy, if they should come and surrender the town on the best terms we can get. Again these is a general stampede to leave town with valuables. The road to Shippensburg is again packed with fleeing citizens. There is not a Negro to be seen in town. At 11 o'clock, the streets are deserted. I did not go to bed till about one. All is quiet, but it is a sleepless town.
