Diary of 1st Lieutenant John S. Morgan: Monday, July 31, 1865

Up early. No one astir, but one gent who come up on boat with me a stranger in the place, we walk out together to the bridge, & work shops watchman at Lambs mills was acquainted with Mr Pasdrol & told me where he lived. Could not then wait until after breakfast as I had intended, but started post haste to see Mattie took breakfast with them & stayed with Mattie all day.
