Sept
30th Friday
cloudy-but no rain
Strated about seven AM
passed through woodstock
Edenburg Hawkins town
and Mount Jackson
near the last place
we parked for the
night. Had dinner in
woodstock
the rebels have destroyed
several of the bridges
on the pike and we
move very slow in
consequence of it
the Guerillas are very
thick along the road
It is not safe to go fifty
yards from the road
