Of course awake at daylight. Reached Burkesville Junction
shortly after, where we lay in the sun all one day, en route to Danville. Reach
Richmond at nine. In Richmond at last. Saw Ould. To go North by first flag
truce boat!! I wish they knew it at home this night. Meantime I go to “Libby,”
and here I am in Libby Prison Hospital, rather comfortably off. Sedgwick,
Twentieth, here. I shall sleep to-night after last night's experience. How can
I be grateful enough to God for his great mercy.
