Had a cold rain all day. There was no church for us today.
The quartermaster with a detail of men loaded some of the supplies on open
cars, the wagons being taken apart and loaded. The mules and horses were put in
the stock cars. The cars came for us about 9 p. m. and we finished loading
about midnight and left for Jefferson City, some of the men in box cars and
others in open cars with the baggage.
