Making sand walks around quarters. A threatening morning and
a snowy day. General Scammon passed today with his staff for Fayette: Captain
James L Bottsford, First Lieutenant A. C. Reichenbach, [and] Headington, of
Thirtieth. A good staff. Captain Hildt, of Twelfth, provost marshal. Bottsford
and Reichenbach of Twenty-third dined with us on their way up to Fayette.
General Scammon commands all south and east of Kanawha River; General Crook all
north of same; both under Major-General Cox.
