About two stopped at a house and warmed. Got into a bed for
two hours. Pitied some poor people. Gave a woman $22 scrip. Wolf and I went to
a Mr. Tate's (rebel off the road) for breakfast. One very affected rebel girl
with curls, perfectly disgusting. Train corralled near. One and one-half miles
from Bean Station. Lay down and took a nap. Mack lost his horse last night,
left him standing while he went to warm, walked 8 miles. Found him today.
Pearson and men messing with us. Went with Mr. Berley to Div. Com. to sell him
some beef and hogs. Boys came up before night. Sent Lewis back to see about
flour and beef for Brigade. Moved about 8 P. M. — just settled for night's rest
— to the foot of Clinch Mountain. Trains and troops crossing all night. Slept
well in open air. Hired George
