Buntyn Station. This morning,
while it was yet dark, Sergeant Hamilton came to our door, calling upon Evans
to harness and hitch up team. I being on guard, coupled the horses, stood until
8 o'clock, when they were unhitched and unharnessed. Marched from 2 o'clock.
Roll call. After [marched] to the headquarters of the 48th Indiana to be paid
off, the boys having two months' pay. I received none. Raining heavy all day.
Five months in the service of Uncle Sam.
