Excitement among the Johnnies — flying around as if the
Yankee army were threatening Richmond. Cannot learn what the commotion is, but
hope it is something that will benefit us. Later:
The occasion of the excitement among the rebels is that Dahlgreen is making a
raid on Richmond, acting in conjunction with Kilpatrick, for the purpose of
liberating prisoners. We are heavily guarded and not allowed to look out of the
windows, nevertheless we manage to see about all there is going on.
