Started again at 4 A. M. Marched 14 miles in sight of Fort
Scott. Then turned back two miles on account of the scarcity of water. Encamped
along a little vale where were little puddles of water. Got into camp a little after
noon. Slept some. Got wood for a fire. Helped eat some oysters and sardines.
Supper at 5 P. M. Mail came bringing a letter from Minnie. Wrote home. Sent a
letter to Fannie. Saw some new acts relating to the formation of regiments
under the new law. All Batt. staffs to be mustered out. One more 2nd Lt. to a
company. A good berth for some of the staff. Warm day, not much like Sunday.
