1866. Thursday, April 5. Sherman rose early & departed—before I was up John Wake? came & routed? me out to go to Richmond to attend to a case against McGuigon &c. [company] Hurried on my clothes & swallowed a few mouthfuls & left on horse back. Got there before 9 o clock. Succeeded in getting McGuigon bound over for grand Larceny. Strong feeling against him. He is a big rascal but not guilty of the offence charged in my opinion. Was back by 3 PM tired sore & sleepy. Mr Curtree was in about the matter of a note unclear Crabb - Sat with Jenkins a while in the unclear this evening. Go to bed early to night
