In the afternoon wrote to Ella Clark. Spent the day much as
other days, reading, writing and loafing about hearing the news and waiting for
the news. Report that Jackson had been captured. Evening papers contradicted the
rumor and gave the Rebels the decided advantage. Driving our men towards
Washington. Stirring news from Cincinnati. Battle at Lexington. Raw troops
whipped out.
