A chilly, cloudy morning but no wind; probably will snow
before night. At 10 p. m. was ordered by Capt. H. R. Steele to take my command
up to the reserve as soon as possible as the Johnnies were advancing in eight
(whew!) different lines: think the man who reports this must be troubled with
C. W. (commissary whiskey); arrived in camp at 4 p. m.; snowed all the
afternoon. But what's become of the eight lines of C. W.?
