In the morning went to the post commissary for provisions.
Met on my return to camp the poor man we had prisoner, with his wife. I stopped
and conversed with them. The woman at first seemed angry but she soon quieted.
When I bid them goodbye, they invited me to call, if I ever came that way. At 4
P. M. left with detail of 60 men, Capt. Nettleton, Lieuts. Stewart and Niman
for Springfield. Marched to the Drywood and encamped at 8 P. M. Lost the command
and passed them and went through the woods.
