March 12 - Lovely morning. Took my station in Provost Marshal's office. Numerous applicants for aid came in - was thronged. I like the business and had a cabin fixed for a refugee's family. Headache. No prayer meeting because no seats.
March 13 - Fine spring day. See much destitution and misery in poor families. Busy at office. I had my horse shod. Visited hospital. No mail for a few days. 2 officers of 7th [?] came to consult about meetings. Tell of meetings and revival in their regiment. I am cheered by the good news. Vicksburgh evacuated. Hope to men.
March 14 - Lovely day. Went to Purdy. Collected 7.50. Town half deserted apparently. Dined with Mr. Gardner. 3 of Tenn. cavalry came in and took dinner, [?] tired and too much inclined to be petulant.
