From Salt Pond Mountain to Peters Mountain. A cold rainy
morning. Afternoon, weather good. Bivouacked on east side of Peters Mountain
very early. Sun and rest make all happy. Caught a Rebel train and a cannon at
the foot of the hill. [At] 3 P. M. ordered to cross Peters Mountain to get
forage for animals. A good little march — fifteen miles. Bivouacked at foot of
Peters Mountain northeast side.
