[from the diary of Captain William F. Hunter of Co. B., 97th Ohio]
Sept. 27th, 1862.
Pleasant morn-
ing – indications
of rain. The road
as far as I can see,
is literally filled
with army wagons.
It commenced rain-
ing early in the day,
& has been raining
constantly nearly
all day; & from ap-
pearances, will con-
tinue all night.
The ground is
low, & there is a prob-
ability that we
will be inundated.
It will be unpleas-
antly “damp” to
night.
Contrary to expecta-
ton, it did not rain
at night, but was
very damp & cold.
