Two trains loaded with provisions came through on the
railroad from Memphis, and we drew five days’ full rations. This was the first
time that we drew full rations in forty days, but we have no way of drawing
extra clothing, and our knapsacks in storage again failed to come today. The
First Brigade passed by on its way to Memphis.
