John Hunt Morgan quotes:

It is made the duty of every Commanding Officer in the Department, to arrest and send to these Headquarters, under guard, every officer or soldier who may be found absent from his command, without the regular leave in writing, prescribed by Regulations and General Orders.

The Gen. Commanding, takes this means of informing the people that he has not come among them to disturb them in the enjoyment of their rights, either of person or property.

Our loss was very heavy, especially in the officers. Capt. Sale, of Co. E, Duke's regt, was among the killed, making the third Capt. that has been killed in that company.

...our state will not...secede. Have no doubt but Lincoln will make a good president - at least we ought to give him a fair trial.

I have been very fortunate as to escape through another day's very severe fighting and escaped unhurt.
