Breaks camp early but wait to corderoy the road, move but 6
miles today 2/3 of the road had to be corded bfore the train could be
taken across, rests frequent & long. I read several papers during rests.
Pass a house in which is found powder & back of which a few cavalry sabres
& plenty of sweet potatoes nice ones, have now a continued pine swamp with
no under brush, but a thick growth of grass a great deal like our prairie
grass, this is called the Meadows
