Creed T. Davis: January 13, 1865
Yesterday, after putting the guns on the cars, all the boys who had drawn horses set out for home in squads and singly. I am among the lucky ones who drew horses but did not get a saddle, as there were not enough for all. So I am on the road bareback with a poor horse, bound for Richmond, via Staunton. I leave the company in winter quarters at Fishersville. Heaven help them!

Inside information says that some Englishmen were walking around Berlin posing as German civilians. Some have been put in jail but nothing can be proved against them as their papers are in order and they speak good German. They came through with Romanians leaving the country. One English officer in Politschka near here walks into the town offices and volunteered for work in Belgium. All papers were in order and he spoke good Czech so got away O.K.
