Moved out between 2 and 3 A. M. Got on the wrong road and
lost some time. Marched to within 5 miles of Greenville and got breakfast and
dinner at 11:30 A. M. Bought a chicken and turkey. Good dinner. Drake ate with
me, about sick, looks miserable. Moved on to Greenville and saw some of the 103rd
Ohio. Very pretty town. Prettiest have seen in Tenn. Home of Andy Johnson.
Woman said, “Noble and brave Union boys, God grant you may all return home
safely, our country at peace.” Camped with Brigade, 5 miles on. 18 miles to
Jonesboro. Sent out squad for provisions.
