I went out piruting
again to-day. Wagons got in to-day. I was put on Camp Guard; roots for being
out. Soon after dark a detail was called for to go to Lewisburg; 'twas raining;
I was detailed. Doak in command. Got there about 11 o'clock, could find nobody,
went into Court House and slept in the Bar.
