Kate went to town this morning to make inquiries about the missing bundle.  Mr. Crawford telegraphed to Parkersburg and promised to try and find it.  She came home on an engine before dinner.  Ephraim's regiment has left Paducah and gone up the Tennessee River.  Several other regiments now at Paducah are to follow immediately.  Whether they are to operate in Alabama or against Memphis I do not know.  They are likely to see service soon.  May they be valiant and victorious.  Lucy came on the evening train.  Mrs. G. W. Bailey and Bertie spent the afternoon and evening here.  Mrs. B. sewed on the hospital supplies.
