We were all at our work early this morning, and would have finished the shirts but had orders to move. Mr. Pugh, came for us with two Ambulances and a baggage Wagon.We packed and were off in ten minutes time. Arrived in Tulep at 1 pm and went to Gen Forrest's hd. Wts. Ever thing was in butle, and hopeful in the coming campaign. Met with Gen Lee who had just arrived on the cars. I am perfectly delighted with him. If I had a heart to lose. I think it would b in danger. God bless both of them, spare time to our Country, and crown them with Victory, in the battle which awaits them. We ate supper with Maj. Rambeaut, Mason, Beaumont and other frieds. The Yanks are at Ripley, moving down in force. We have no ida where the battle will be fought." (Isabella Buchanan Edmundson.
