29 September 1861

Sunday, 29th Pleasant. E.I.R.B. Cron. 26 Corth. 10th. This morning I was relieved as officer of the day, but felt very much fatigued from the duties of last night. We had preaching to day at 4 o'clock P.M. The telegraphic to Gen. Smith states that Gen. Rosecrans had an engagement with Gen. Wise and defeated him completely. The citizens here of southern sympathies are rather still and look very bad over the news of the defeat of Gen. Wise.

Paid to M. Rayhill Sept 29 to cash 1.00
