I signed the allotment roll for my father to draw $10.00 of
my pay at home. The division received orders to be ready to march tomorrow
morning. We are to pack our extra clothing in our knapsacks, which are to be
stored at La Grange. Our tents are to be taken with us, the quartermaster
delivering them to us every night so that we will not have to lie out in all
kinds of weather.
