Aroused at daylight. Saddled and waited two hours for “forward.”
Hornets’ nest by road. Bees after Gen. Shackleford and others, occasioned
considerable fun. Moved 5 miles and stopped for breakfast and to feed horses.
More big hills. Air cool and bracing. Nice day for marching. 30 miles from
Montgomery, where we camp. Four companies left with wagons. Ours at head of Batt.
Rode some with Major Nettleton and Robertson. Camped about dark. Found hay and
corn. In the woods.
