A cold, rainy day. Last night the coldest of the season.
Yesterday with Dr. Joe and four oarsmen rowed in his large skiff up Elk, three
or four miles; caught in a wild storm of rain and sleet.
Had a dispatch today from Captain Simmonds at Gauley; he
reports rumors of an early advance on all our posts. "Sensational!"
General Scammon in a "stew" about it.
