We drew our army cooking utensils this morning and one day's
rations, and then cleaned up our camp. Besides a part of the Eighth Iowa
Infantry, there is a part of the Second Iowa Cavalry in camp. The first day of
camp life is past, and we had our first experience of a night in camp, sleeping
on straw for a bed.
