Cold and raw weather with no wood. Men are too weak to walk
nights to keep warm, sink down and chill to death. At least a dozen were
carried out this morning feet foremost. Through Robinson's influence Hendryx
and myself will go out to morrow to issue clothing, and will come in nights to
sleep. We are to receive extra rations for our services. In good spirits
tonight with a good fire and very comfortable for this place.
