I had some nice cherries this evening. Passed through Sharpsburg at 1 p.m. through Cheatersville at 2 p.m. saw only two C.S. Flags the women looked sour. Saw a few secessionists. Crossed the Antietam River at 6 a.m. came through Funkstown at 10 a.m. the ladies were all glad to see us. We halted at 12 a.m. near Haigerstown.
Confederate money is of very little value here.
We are cooking one days rations. Friday 26 - We took up our march at sunrise came through Hagerstown the doors were all closed the people had very long faces. We got into Pensylvania at 8 a.m. at little Richmond. It has rained all day. We issued whiskey to the men.
