It is still raining, which makes the fifth day of steady
rain, and at times it comes down in torrents. We are very fortunate in having
shacks set up on the top of the old fort where we are located, for if we were
camping down on the level ground, we could not possibly keep dry. Our duty is
very light here, but we are getting awfully tired of the place, and hope that
as we have a new landing for the provisions, we may be able to get away in a
few days and move on to the front at Garden Corners, South Carolina.
