June 4th (1862) 
Marched through Camden to day, it only consists of three houses. Encamped near a log meeting house, after marching 14 miles. It is cool and pleasant this evening.
 Bolivar Tenn June 5th 
Arrived here at 4 P.M. after a tiresome march on account of the scarcity of water. Had one man killed by bush-whackers to day. This is a beautiful town, situated on the Hatchie River. There are many mansion like dwellings and a fine Court House. Beautiful lawns and shade trees around houses. Many little boys & girls cried out "you are Yankees, you are Yankees" as we entered the town. This seems to be the strongest sesesh hold we have yet found; it is also a very aristocratic place.
 Bolivar Tenn. June 6th An Earth quake was sensibly felt here to day. No damage in consequence to my knowledge. Bolivar Tenn June 8th This morning I felt almost as though I was at home, when I heard, once again, after 4 months, church bells ringing. It brought the many happy hours I had spent at Greencastle to my memory.
 Near Summerville June 10th
 Left Bolivar at sunrise this morning, marched 26 miles, no water between here and bolivar. The soil is a sandy loam, and some depth below it is the pure sand.
