To-day we move camp
to the widow Jackson's plantation. This evening Captain Knowlton, with Company
F, arrives from Cheatam's Landing and reports to Captain Ring. The detachment
now consists of Companies F, H and K. We are now eight miles from the headquarters
at Baily Springs, and eight miles from the Tennessee river. Orders are issued
this evening to move at two o'clock in the morning.
