Started south for Diamond Grove. Detachments kept leaving
when we approached the grove, so as to surround and enter it from different
directions. Nettleton and we of the noncommissioned staff took one course and
scouted through the woods. None found any rebels. Went to the farm of a Mr.
Holsell, a notorious rebel. Boys took everything takable from the house and
premises. Abundance of apples and some ammunition. Encamped here for the night.
One girl, good secesh, has brother in the rebel army.
