Orders came to be ready to march at 7 A. M., we to draw our
pay before starting. Hastened breakfast and we were paid during the day. Awful
wet and muddy, cold and chilly. Wore overcoats and shivered. Delayed the march.
In the evening a Kansas officer of the day became frightened and alarmed the camp.
Got saddled and sat two hours in the rain. Boys mad. Some of the boys started
for the fort with the sick.
