A wet disagreeable day. Captain Reynolds returned from a
trip to Raleigh with a flag of truce. Town of Raleigh abandoned. Floyd on
beyond. They treated the captain and his party well. The impression is they are
not averse to peace. Once taught to respect the North, they will come to terms
gladly, I think.
