Renewed our march at sunrise after breakfast. Our course lay
mostly through the woods, a little over rough prairie. After 25 miles march,
reached Mt. Vernon at 4 P. M. Gen Brown's command here mostly Mo. troops, one
Arkansas regiment. Made requisition and drew corn. Pretty little town. Took
supper with teamsters. Sold my old overcoat to Noah Long for $4, to be paid pay
day. News came from Sarcoxie about a fight. Gen. Salomon. Good prospects ahead
for a fight. Order to muster out staff has come.
