From the Richmond Sentinel,
8/4/1863, p. 2, c. 3
The Hermitage Fair
Grounds. – Since the occupation
of this place by the military, it has undergone quite a changed appearance. The
fencing has been nearly all removed, and the desolating effects of war are
visible on all sides. Let us hope that the day is not far distant when, in the
enjoyment of the blessings of peace and independence, we may again witness the
assembling of thousands of the beautiful daughters and sturdy farmers of
Virginia, at this once attractive spot.
