Got up reasonably early, breakfasted and then moved on.
Reached Jonesboro near night. Quite a town and many secesh. Girls sang “Bonny
Blue Flag.” Marched 6 miles and camped on a Rebel's place. The prettiest and
most refined girl I have seen in Tenn. Got some butter and biscuit. Abbey and
Thede are messing with me. Our Brigade expecting a fight all the time, skirmish
yesterday and fight today. Foster retreated.
