At Wacasassee we met General Worth and his staff, en route for Pilatka.

Lieutenant Judd overtook us about the Suwanee, where we embarked on a small boat for Cedar Keys, and there took a larger one for Pensacola, where the colonel and his family landed, and our company proceeded on in the same vessel to our post--Fort Morgan, Mobile Point.
This fort had not been occupied by troops for many years, was very dirty, and we found little or no stores there.

Major Ogden, of the engineers, occupied a house outside the fort.

I was quartermaster and commissary, and, taking advantage of one of the engineer schooners engaged in bringing materials for the fort, I went up to Mobile city, and, through the agency of Messrs.

Deshon, Taylor, and Myers, merchants, procured all essentials for the troops, and returned to the post.
