Camp Number 3, Shady Spring, nine miles’ march from
Raleigh.. — A shower during the night; clear and beautiful again this
morning. Scrubbed all over; arrayed in the glories of clean duds!
Six fugitives from Wyoming [County] came in today. Major
Comly returned. No enemy at the point where expected. Expedition a “water-haul.”
