[from the diary of Samuel S. Johnson, 1st Massachusetts Independent Light Battery]
Feb 8th [date a bit unclear]
The past week has been very quiet. The ninth
corps, “Gen Smith’s” has been withdrawn from
this army, and sent to East Kentucky. On the
6th had a cold and severe snow storm, which
lasted until the night of the 7th when it turned
to rain. The weather has been very cold and quite
stormy.
