It is cloudy, chilly and very disagreeable weather. A great
many of the boys are getting sick with the chills and fever, and the doctors
are no account. We have no drill nor dress parade; we seem to be just stopping
here in the mud. Troops are passing here every day going up the river. The boys
are getting anxious for a fight.
