Still raining. Our march today covered sixteen miles and the
troops are very much fatigued. We camped for the night in Dallas, Georgia, one
division, the Fourth, going into vacant houses and buildings in the town. The
citizens all left the place upon our approach. There had been a cotton mill
here, but it was closed down last summer when the Yankees were besieging
Atlanta.
