Dodge´s troops continued S. on rds. Now designated Briarcliff, Oak Grove, LaVista & Clairmont to Decatur, arriving there at evening. Blair´s corps under orders to follow Logan´s 15th A.C. to Decatur, turned E. along Briarcliff to Henderson´s Mill Rd. where it joined Logan´s column at the present Midway Church. The 15th had camped at Henderson´s Mill.
