the act of Elliot's being made Lieutenant -- good for him. He is deserving. There is a rumor going around of the death of the Reb general Morgan. I hope it may prove true. The Secesh have lost some of their best men. Stonewall Jackson, Gen. Van Dorn and others. No news from home. Some firing on the picket lines.
Wed. May 20th:
Weather was fine all day. Elliot & McFadden were up to see me. There is something afoot I am pretty sure as I saw all the medical directors in session. If we move at all it must be pretty soon. Our right rests now on Duck river and our left on Shelbyville so I think the center will move soon to Tullahoma. All quiet on our front.
Thursday May 21st;
Nothing new today. Only the usual amount of Refugees came in. Our army has not moved yet.
Friday May 22nd:
Gen. Palmer sent in for reinforcements last night and a large body of Cavalry and artillery went out. Tonight they returned with 200 prisoners. They took 200 prisoners and 30 horses and burnt their camp. Some prisoners also came in from the direction of Franklin. I begin to think we will get the whole of Bragg's army if we stay here long enough.
