Rode alone down to Gauley over Kanawha and Gauley Rivers, up
New River, and stayed at headquarters of General Rosecrans. Always treated well
there. Ate pickled oysters immoderately and foolishly; drank mixed drinks
slightly but foolishly. But spent an agreeable night with General Rosecrans,
Major Crawford, and Captain Reynolds and Major Jos. Darr. Good men all. Cold,
desperately windy night; slept coldly in Captain Hartsuff's tent.
