We lay around all day in the camp which the rebels vacated.
Their tents are badly torn, but the wooden bunks are in good condition. The
wounded have all been cared for and the dead were buried today. A detachment of
our army is still in pursuit of the rebels. Our brigade has been detailed to
garrison this place and we expect our tents to arrive soon. I was detailed on
camp guard this morning.
