Rode all night with paroled prisoners — Yankees. Cold.
Reached City Point at 8 A. M. Got ready to leave on the mail boat at 10 A. M.
Boat loaded mostly with Southern officers and a few Yankees, few citizens. Saw
a telegraph operator with whom I was acquainted in Tenn. Read late papers.
Accounts of the assassination. A little seasick. Most of the rebels seem
submissive and willing to come under the old flag again.
