When within five
miles of Gainesboro we met the advance of the First Brigade, now under the
command of Colonel Statham, going in the direction of Carthage by the way of
Chestnut Mound.
Captain Allison, I
and four others went on to Gainesboro. There we found General Carroll's
Brigade, and Colonel McNairy with a part of our battalion. Colonel McNairy said
we had better go back to Mr. Allison's, or in that neighborhood, in order to
get forage for our horses. We went back and remained in the Allison
neighborhood until [Friday, February 7.]
