1866 Monday January 8 Baton Rouge La Genl Danblorre [antebellum] of the 461st came today - Beautiful day Been all day trying to sell my horse and been foiled in every attempt Never was so much annoyed in any undertaking – The Major deceived me once or twice when I had relied upon him to take it – Tonight am as mad as a wet hen for I will not be able to leave tomorrow morning as I had fondly expected – Must stay now amother day Exchanged my small bills a $1000.00 bill at the bank here Walked around the town tonight looking for the soldier who talked of taking the horse
