The weather is fine — days warm and pleasant and nights
cool. The Thirty-second Illinois arrived in camp at 11 o'clock with sweet
potatoes, fresh pork and corn for our brigade. We are still lying in camp
without rations. We had company inspection and drill for the recruits. The
First Division of the Fifteenth Corps advanced their skirmish line this morning
toward the rebels' post south of Savannah. There was quite an artillery duel
and some sharp skirmishing, but our men succeeded in gaining their position.
