In the morning was on picket in the town. Roasted corn for
breakfast. Ate and slept on a porch to a jayhawked store. Slept soundly. Went
to the tannery and had a good wash. Got some peaches. Went out about noon and
joined the main command, two miles out. Went out a mile where Capt. Welch was
staying with a picket guard. Got plenty of melons to eat from a Mrs. Dade,
whose husband was in the secesh army, a surgeon. Scouting parties went out ten
and twelve miles each way, north and east. Went out and met our command. Slept
in a house on floor. Strange.
