Breakfasted and moved through Blountville towards Bristol.
Rested at B. till noon, waiting for reports from Foster's Brigade — gone to
Bristol and 7th Ohio gone to Zollicoffer. Bristol very enterprising little town
— thoroughly secesh. Girls all pouting. Sullivan County all rebel. Got a late
rebel paper. Little news from Rosencrans. Not very encouraging. Passed through
and camped at 8 miles, near Abington. Rained at 8 P. M. Aroused at 9 and
returned to Bristol in Egyptian darkness.
