Reveille early and all ready to march at 5 but no orders. After
remaining saddled two or three hours "Re-call" blew. Ordered to be
ready at noon. At 4:30 orders came and we saddled and went to town and
witnessed the drumming out of a thief — whole Div. — sad sight. Pitied the man.
Drunk and stole a horse. After dark marched out on Strawberry Plains road.
Camped at 2 A. M. Quite tired and sleepy.
