After breakfast, Col. (Abbey) and I got a team and rode
horseback to town for rations — got 3 days' rations. These troops from the Potomac
never received any company savings. Marched at noon after giving rations.
Ordered to Stanford, 50 miles south of Lexington. Reached Winchester about
dark. Got some eggs and biscuit. A darkey came in and had a good visit.
Intelligent though uneducated.
