Put some stripes on
my pants, and gave my poor wardrobe a good looking over and repairing. Should
not like playing old bachelor for life — not any. Like company and society too
well. In the afternoon orders came for the 2nd Ohio to be ready to march at 8
P. M. with 5 days' rations. Under way at nine P. M. 1st Brigade and 6th and 9th
Kansas marched from town at ten with the 2nd Ohio in the rear. The dismounted
men and 9th Wisconsin rode in the wagons. Marched all night. I got Major's
permission and rode in baggage wagon. Most sick with the bloody flux. All were
ignorant of our destination, but supposed and hoped to fight.
