We started this morning at 7 o'clock, and reaching Corinth
at 10, we marched out two miles west of town where we pitched our tents in the
timber for camp. Water is very scarce. I took six canteens and started to find
water, but to get it I must have traveled in all four miles. The balance of the
day I served on camp guard.
