During the day moved to Todd's Tavern. A large open space. All the trains
of the army parked here. An ocean of teams. Pulled out a short distance after dark.
General order saying that our armies had been victorious at Spottsylvania
during the day. Parked near Gen. Burnside's Hdqrs. Saw Gen. Stevenson, Patten
and Patrick. Maj. Nettleton stayed with us. Considerable encouraging news in
regard to Butler and Thomas.
