1866. Monday, January 8. Baton Rouge La

Genl Daublorre other bullmen of the 461t came to day. - Beautiful day Been all day trying to sell my horse & have 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. To night am as mad as a wet hen for I will not be able to leave to morrow morning as I had fondly expected. Must stay over another day Exchanged my small bills for a $1000.00 bill at the bank here Walked around the town to night looking for the soldier who talked last night of taking the horse.
