Tuesday. The dreaded draft is being made on the men of our Township. Some of the Catholic young men of the Congregation are drafted, among whom is Tom Butler, a young man in our service, and son of the hostess of Visitors’ Home. Parents are in distress to see their sons carried off by force to the butchery of battle field.

TO_DO: confirm Tuesday; see October 5, 1854 which reads Thursday.
