Hamlin and Devlin had been missing for two days. Hamlin
returned. They had been with Cloud's command. By permission, Hamlin and Watson
went ahead intending to overtake Cloud's command, but they had too much the start
of us. Went up to the house where four Kansas men's wounds had been bandaged the
day before. Sick men and those unable to stand service went to the fort.
Warren's command passed. We went with the advance guard of our brigade. In the P.
M. Mo. men and Iowa (Warren) turned back. Reached Montebello about 8 P. M.
Pedrick, with whom I had been riding, got a supper at an old lady's. Paid 50
cents. Moved on two miles to the prairie. Couldn't find our wagons. It rained
hard and wet us thoroughly. So tired we did not feel it much.
