Saturday Sept 21. 1861. At twelve Oclock we arrived at Jeffersonville- there all the Passengers trunks were examined - at half after 12 we arrived at my Father's house they were surprised to see us. Mr. Badger had business with Mr. Hunt who has just arrived from Alabama with his family - he is now anxious to get back. But the Pruins? have stopped - I found my Mother, Father David & Brother Shnene all well great excitement in the City - fear that the Confederates were approachig Louisville - they were in large numbers at Elizabeth town which is miles off - Gen Anderson with Government Troops are trenching at Mulboughs? Hill but his forces are small - and there is much fear for Kenducky. Troops are coming fast to Anderson but they are poorly drilled - what the end will be is in the future - I had my Sister Faulds & Shrene's Carriage at my command while in Louisville - I rode up to our house and went in - it looked very natural. It is a beautiful house with white marble steps. I went to the stores to buy children Frogs - visited Mr. Sam Paye of Nocks family also Heywoods. Also went to see French Sophia and gave her some money. At one Oclock the Omnibus came for us but we sent it away and went in Sister Virginia Carriage to the Gall House. David Faulds
