At 9, A. M. am summoned to the rooms of Genl. Court Martial
to testify in the case of Deik Tol Witnesses beside myself Col Mackey. Capt
Ledyard & Rankin. P. M. writing all the time, News the Reb Sec. of war has
surrendered everything under his control. Smoke seen this P. M. apparently up
this river causes some concern as it was supposed to be rebel boats coming
down, conclusion afterwards that the smoke was from our own boats on the
Alabama river dust is becoming intolerable, & weather warm. The fort laid
out — landwerd.
