No news of importance. We are again drawing regular army
rations, having a railroad to our base of supplies. There is little to be
secured by foraging around Corinth, as the rebels’ attempt to retake the place
has resulted in keeping a large force of our men here and food and feed has
been almost cleaned up, with the men for a part of the time on short rations.
