May 9. — Weather warm and pleasant. Went over to headquarters to try Lieutenant Oliver’s horse. Major Spaulding’s detachment went into camp with their regiment. Enemy’s tents visible in the same place as before. General Stoneman’s force crossed the river safely, and so the canvas pontoon train returned to camp.
