The regiment returned from picket this morning at 8 o’clock,
the Thirteenth coming out to relieve us. The roads are becoming very dusty and
a regiment of men with a few mules can kick up a big dust. The soil is a sandy
loam, and so fine and of such a color as to look like smoke from even a short
distance.
