Left Butler at 8 A. M. Major Wilson of our regiment marched the
rest of the distance to Fort Scott, under arrest by order of the General for
drunkenness. Rode by the side of Nettleton. Crossed one of the branches of the Osage,
Marais des Cygnes, very swift. Great time crossing with the mules led by ropes —
one team rolled down the bank. Encamped by a little stream on the prairie.
Found considerable muddy road during the day along the river bottom.
