[from the diary of Captain William F. Hunter, Co. B., 97th Ohio]
Jan. 4th, ’63.
It is Sabbath, &
the rain ceasing, we are
now trying to dry our
wet & muddy clothes.
All quiet during the day.
Report current that
Murfreesboro is evacua-
ted. About sun set
heard the firing of one or
two cannons in front.
Our forces again cross the river.
