Shriver Mansion.
— At 3:30 A. M. Captain
McNeal and fifty or so of his band kidnapped Generals
Kelley and Crook from their hotel on Baltimore Street. Daring and well
executed. They inquired for me but on learning that I quartered in camp did not
look further.

* Probably misdated.
See explanation of misdate in Diary of Brigadier-General Rutherford B. Hayes: Tuesday,
[February] 14, 1865. I speculate this may have been a diary with preprinted
dates in which General Hayes is writing in the wrong month.
