J. L. Thomas
and I set out from Mr. Lathan's to hunt our command. After a ride of about
twenty-four miles, we found our Company at Monroe, in Overton County, six or
eight miles north-east of Livingston, on their way to Knoxville. The other two
companies, B and C, were beyond Livingston.
Brother Ben, who had
taken brother Will home from Camp Schuyler, rejoined the company. It was about
this time that Captain Payne left the battalion, and Duncan was made Captain of
Company D.
