Diary of Private Ephraim Shelby Dodd: Tuesday, February 24, 1863

Just before leaving a couple of young lady equestrians passed out of town from Mr. Fisher's. I jumped on H. Emnoff's horse and overtook them, rode out a mile with them and turned off pike. If I should ever get back to L. I intend seeking them and make their acquaintance. After dinner we bid our kind friends adieu and put out, overtook the Command about eleven miles from Shelbyville.
