Clear and warm. We leave for home by the same route. Stopped in Pattonsville where we had dinner with our former friends. Proceeded to Bloody Run, where we watered and then to Mackelwanes, where we put up for the night, first having a good meal, and then religious exercises before retiring. Schneck and myself fortunate in getting the same room. Bausman and Apple roomed together in the same bed. Had quite a cat accident about midnight. A loud scratching and thumping awakened them,the noise coming from a nearby cupboard. Opening it, a howling cat jumped out, which ran under their bed where it discharged its bowels creating a horrible stench. Apple could scarce retain his stomach. Got up, lit a match, but no other place to sleep. Finally turned the mouth of the chamber pot upon it, so got thru till morning. The incident created a hearty laugh in the morning.
