—passed all of our Cavalry on retreat

Left Senatobia very late, having to wait for the Ambulance. Arrived at Hernando at 3 OC—passed all of our Cavalry on retreat, at Cold Water Ferry.¹ Bivouaced for the night at MrChristophers ten miles from Hernando. Mrs B. and I have been quite buisy making preparations to enter the Federal lines to morrow.

1. The area, from the Coldwater River to Nonconnah Creek, 3 miles from the Edmondson home, was a region where cavalry from both sides skirmishes nad raided.
