Raining the first time this month. New Year's Eve change
came about midnight. January I cold and windy, “very, very indeed”; snow about
[the] 3rd. Two weeks of unusual cold weather. Kanawha frozen; navigation
suspended about a week; a week's good sleighing. Now a thaw for a few days;
snow going off.
Captain Gilmore out after Rebel Colonel Ferguson, Sixteenth
Virginia Cavalry; fourth day out.
