Up before sunrise and had breakfast. Report that Longstreet
and Ewell were at or near Jonesboro on Va. line. A very dusty day. Passed S.
Plains and Newmarket and camped at Mossy Creek. Boy's master Dick came for
them. I threatened him and he left. Expected an exciting time in night or next morning.
Had things arranged. Union man. Boys were working for rebel man when taken.
Beautiful Mossy Creek.
