Sisson House Fairfax Court House Virginia

"I am writing this at the farm house called Sisson's Hotel from some circumstances which I would relate if I had time. The lady of the house and I are great friends. She gives me the head of the table. Most of our officers get their meals here. Tom Vaughn and Albert Smith are here in the room and both send their respects. Vaughn has just received from home some cherry rum and cake which he is dealing out. We now drink your health." Colonel Henry Tillinghast Sisson, July 20th, 1861 (near Centreville)
