Arrived here at 4 o clock. A beautiful and clear
atmosphere – The county around under the influence
of the autumnal [illegible]. The foliage [foliage] still full
in retaining its graceful forms; and inviting
to the exercise of the pencil. Its mostly oak
timber – and the trees within the enclosure of the Battle ground are extremely fine. I never
saw finer studies for the Painter. As studies
The battle ground retains nearly all its
original appearance – but few trees have
been cut down since the army encamped
on it. The timber is not thick – but open and
like that country known as the barrens [crossed out and

asumes [assumes] the appearance of a small park. The space
enclosed is about and is a lovely
site for a residence – There is a prairie on [illegible]
side – through the western side runs
Barnett’s creek from which the army men
supplied with water on the eastern side
