Marched to Blake's, thirteen miles. Called with Colonel
White on Colonel Sickles. Get an order from division headquarters regulating
halts. General Crook orders, “No rails to be burned.” Hard to enforce but am
doing my best. The Thirty-sixth obey promptly. Others grumble. General Crook is
testing our discipline!
