Diary of Ephraim Shelby Dodd, Co. D of Terry's Texas Rangers

Thursday, 6th, to Friday, 14th—Nothing but roll call, inspection, dress parades and drill. We are living high on peach pie. I have made a few acquaintances, but don’t find the hospitality that we did in Tennessee. I was over at Mr. Bryant’s to-day. Can’t say that I enjoyed it very highly.

I pass from 14th to 20th. Nothing stirring. Oh! yes, the wedding—Charley Littlefield to Miss Mollie Maddry, by the Rev. Mr. or Lieut. Simpson of Company B alias Sim Bruce of Company E. My time passes very pleasantly.
