Up at daybreak. In the rear guard. Waited several hours for the
train to get by. Stewart and Jacobah came up and joked. Read a Leslie. Very
slow work today, so many halts. Can not admire Capt. Seward. Had the impudence
to keep me carrying water for him to drink. Lingered to guard a sutler, whose
stock he tried — the miserable poison. Advance guard fired upon near a mill,
three stories. Got into camp at Price's old headquarters three miles from
Maysville — an old Free Love Institute, they say. Had a little conversation
with our guide of the 1st Arkansas. Bill and I went to work to get supper — soon
others joined us.
