I am truly glad to see the house-burning stopped, It had become a disgrace to us. 18" Started at 10 AM, and after going three miles halted and built corduroy road the length of the Brigade over a very mean road. Our 2000 wagons would not be able to pass unless the road be well fixed, All the wagons of the army will pass this road Why we all cross here I am unable to say, but we will no doubt branch out again when we cross the next river After fixing corduroy we started on and camped near Broad river being unable to cross as the Pontoons were not all down
