Thur 2d March / Self / Thomas / rain / Wagon stolen / Bugga mended / Mag
This morning it is raining and the Wind is high from the East
& quite warm I did not rest well all night. We heard of
Thomas going on to Nashville I suppose he has made his way
through It is raining so there can nothing be done in the
working line The Wagon left at the Spring by the Southern
Army was taken off last night towards Town through the rain
taken by our own blacks I have no doubt, for it is the blacks
that are doing the most of the stealing at this time It is still
raining all this day and verry hard at that. Williams & Green
mended my Bugga that the Negroes broke last Saturday night,
took them all day to do it, & they worked hard to finish it.
