Packed and struck tents. Received a letter from home. Ready
to march at 9 A. M. Called for the turkey and received the blessing of the good
ladies. Had a very pleasant ride of fifteen miles toward Fort Scott, until we
overtook the First Battalion. Trip delightful and novel. The scenes were truly
grand as we crossed the rolling prairies and looked over them from some
elevated spot — here and there oases, wood-covered and watered by pure clear
streams. It made the trip restful and refreshing. I enjoyed it and walked some,
leading my horse.
