According to orders started for Neosho at 6 A. M. Up early
and flew around to get chores done. Our road lay mostly through the woods. After
8 miles ride, mail came. A letter from good Fannie. Met Co. “A” and “D” from
Sherwood, three miles north of Neosho. Met some Kansas Sixth who had fallen in
with a band of 400 rebels on the road to Granby. Council of War — Burnett
wanting to go on with 200 men — Ratcliff not thinking it best. Bivouacked for the
night in open air.
