Inspection of division
by Major Otis. Undress parade. Col. Purington took leave of the boys. Given
three cheers. Ordered out on two days' scout. Went to forks of road, Cedar
Creek and Strasburg over Little North and camped. Acted Adjt. Very laughable
scene. A drunken citizen came in, bewildered and lost, almost frozen. He could
find a demijohn of brandy if we could only tell him where he laid down.
