Monday, November 21. Major Filler escaped this afternoon. He told us that he was going to try and leave. When we were let out in the afternoon, he went into the men’s barracks and hid underneath the floor. We dressed up a dummy in bed, so that when Captain Senn counted us over he thought we were all there. Filler escaped through a tunnel during the night, with some men. Day rainy. Sherman reported near Macon. Received a letter from Dr. Marks, giving me Colonel Greene’s address. Lieutenant Gill officer of the day.
