Sunday, March 2. —I went with the general and Mr. Foote to Stockton’s regiment, where we saw them inspected. We then went to Colonel Averell’s[1], where we had a lunch; then to Forts Woodbury and De Kalb, and from there home. A little while before we started for home, it began to snow furiously, and by the time we reached there, the snow was some two inches deep.
[1] William W. Averell, of the cavalry, afterwards brevet major general.
