Oxford, Miss. Awoke
with an unpleasant feeling, a racking pain in back and head. Started out early,
the road having frozen hard enough to bear footmen, marched without much
difficulty. Reached Oxford by noon. Neat place, two-thirds the size of Holly
Springs; compared favorably with it in building but not in situation. Went into
camp on the southern limits, saw some 700 prisoners marched in from the advance.
Price still ahead. One darky reported him almost to hell.
