were the most of the time about a mile
in front of our pickets and to the Shelbyville
pike from where we started about three miles
we then followed out this pike as the Colonel
knew there was a station of cavalry posted out
something like two miles further we soon
found them and further on we passed this
outpost Beyond this there were only the videtts
and just within the lines of the videtts was a
large plantation the house with its wealth
of negro cabins was only ten rows from
the lines but he said to me that there were
two very fine ladies over in that house
and if I felt inclined we would make a call
-I said that I was very fond of young ladies
and I thought that an hour passed in their
society would do much to remind me of home
and that I thought the sight of a goof true
union Lady would be good for sore eyes
"Ah: but" they they are the wickedest little
rebels in the world but as this would
promise a [spicy?] interview I expressed a wish
to call on them - all right , he says but in
the first place I must have you sworn to
not reve- never mind Colonel I swear
without your saying anything further "well
he said "there is one other subject on which
you are to have a definite knowledge
