Procured rations for seven days preparatory to our trip to Fort
Scott. First Battalion and “General” moved. Got some chickens baked by a woman
who was a messenger in the Lexington fight, and who was a prisoner one week.
Heard some little girls sing. Had a turkey baked by some Union ladies who were
afraid we might be poisoned by the secesh. God bless these friends! Gave a lady
some coffee and sugar.
