SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY [ATLANTA, GA], July 20, 1861, p. 2, c. 3

A Camp Incident.

                                                                               
                                 Camp Walker, Decatur, Ga.,
                                                                               
                                                 July 17th, 1861.
                Editors Confederacy:  An incident worth relating occurred in 
the camp of the Upson Volunteers on yesterday evening.  Miss Gay, the 
authoress of "Poems by a Georgia Lady," with two other ladies, visited our 
camp, and when they took their leave and were passing out of the camp, Miss 
Gay noticed one of the boys very awkwardly preparing his supper.  She quietly 
offered her assistance, and made the dough for bread--observing that she was 
willing to do what she could for a soldier.  It was all done with perfect 
modesty, and without any attempt at display.  Nothing can be more encouraging 
to volunteers, than to see such spirit shown by the 
ladies.                                                                        
                                                                               
                                     An Upson Volunteer.
