Got away at daylight passing through the town and across the bridge over the river. Our advance was compelled to fight for every inch of ground and we made but 10 or 11 miles passing during the day through a pretty little town by the name of Calhoun. The 4th Corps was in the advance. The country here is quite level and all the streams find [In Margin] Saw the prettiest lady in Calhoun we had seen for a long time. There was a large school house in the little town. Quite a novelty by the way.
