Monday Sept 14th [1864]

Slept pretty last night as it
was not so cold as night before
Sick call at 9 A.M. 3 men Sick.
At 10 A.M. Drew Meat & Bread
(24). the day was cool and
pleasant. And the evening
warm. Staid out and walked
around until about 8 oclock
[Line erased]
In the Evening heavy Cannon-
ading, [letter lined out] could be heard it
appears to be close and many
are the speculations as to
where it is.

Springer probably heard the guns from the Second Battle of Deep Bottom, fought in Henrico County, Va., August 14-20, 1864.
