May 8 My command came here from Glade Springs this Evening. Yesterday I learned that the command rec’d orders to leave Carter’s the morning after I left. I walked from Emory up to Glade Springs & there joined the “Legion” this afternoon. The 45th Va & [John H.] Morgan’s dismounted men left for Dublin Depot immediately upon our arrival here to repel a Yankee raid upon that place. We were ordered there but orders countermanded. I wish we had gone.

May 13 Yankees overpowered our troops at Dublin—burnt depot’s New River Bridge, central Depot, etc. Morgan after them- I spent last night at Mr. Palmer’s with Bro. F.A. Butler, clever family. Met with Mrs. Gen Morgan—pleasant lady, think the Gen is same.
