Beautiful weather. Day of rest.
Full rations. Rice, crackers, coffee, sugar, meat and flour.
Evening: About six o'clock ALARM: -
We are marching without baggage three to four miles because a forage party of General Millroy* (sic) has not yet returned. We meet the Bucktail Sharpshooters, who are burying their dead, five of them.
We return about nine o'clock.
Doctor Idler who is arriving from Mount Jackson on the eighth will arrange transportation for Mehsnick to the hospital in Harrisonburg.
