Marched thirteen
miles to [within] one mile of White Sulphur Springs. A hot day; easy march.
Waded Greenbrier. A good camp on Howard's Creek, headquarters on a knoll,
left-hand side going east. Mr. Caldwell at White Sulphur very civil. Sold me
two teams. A fine, beautiful place. Rumors of Rebels at Callaghan, Jackson River,
etc., etc.; a patrol or picket at White Sulphur.
