McNairy's Battalion moved up to “Camp Hall,” within seven miles of Monticello and within sixteen miles of Mill Springs, where it remained several days.
Having learned that one of my brothers, W. C. Hancock, was sick at headquarters, I went to see and wait on him. On reaching Mr. West's I found that J. W. Kennedy, E. L. Ewing, B. F. Odom, and John Herriman, all belonging to Allison's company, were sick, as well as my brother. Notwithstanding Mr. West was a “Union man," he was very kind to us, especially to our sick boys.
