April 19 - Good meetings in morning and p.m. and evening. The servants had a good meeting in p.m. Eve just after we had got to bed orders came to prepare to move. After busy preparations we left on cars at about 2:30. I took a horse. Left memoranda of my distribution business.
April 20 - Passed through Corinth and got to Glendale Miss. The rest of the Ohio bridage passed us at noon and on we marched through flowery forests of the south. Halted near Burnsville and bivoacked on cedar [?]. Very tired.
April 21 - On the march at about 8. Impressed with the size of an army and train. A pleasant march. P.m. came in rain and some mud. Through Iuka, a beautiful watering place, almost deserted. Made 18 miles and overtook Gen. Dodge's army at Bear Creek.
April 22 - Rested this day. Feel stiff and tired. Camped in wood near with the rest of Gen. Dodge's army. Eve had a small prayer meeting under the trees.
