Jeff Bratton is the owner of the diary you asked about. I don't think he has any plans to publish it; instead, he is posting it in installments on this message board. I believe he has also donated a copy at the Arkansas History Commission. The diary is worth its weight in gold, because it contains the names of men who served in Witt's regiment who are found in no other records. For many of Witt's men, this diary is the only proof of their service.
