At midnight orders
came to be ready to move an hour before daylight, not much sleep. Lewis not
back. Col. Cook attacked the enemy near Mossy Creek. Capron and Garrard for
support. Rained all the morning. Uncomfortable. Regts. in line all day. Some
artillery and a little musketry firing. Foster sent his thanks for getting out
well the other day. Our brigade rather light, 656. Camped near by. Made Hdqrs. at
Dr. Peck's, a rebel, clever, 6 ft. 4 in. in height. Gave me “The
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.” Occupied a good room. Comfortable.
