Detailed for picket duty. Located out on Tuscaror road, in
charge. One duty I had to perform was to examine all citizens who enter town,
as the town is under martial law, and they must have passes to go in and out,
which are obtained from the Provost Marshal. They must take the oath of
allegiance to the United States. They can then go in and out on business.
