Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, July 16, 1865

It rained all day, and having no duty of any kind, we remained in our “ranches.” We had no services of any kind today, but as we had our last dress parade, and as this is our last Sunday in camp, we should have had some minister come out from the city for our last religious services in camp.
