We left our bivouac at 6 a. m. and entered the town of
Moscow at 7 and were then ordered to move to Lafayette, Tennessee, on the
Memphis & Charleston Railroad thirty-five miles east of Memphis, where we
are to guard the railroad. The town is located on the Wolf river and is
surrounded by heavy timber.
