Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, March 15, 1863

We had an all day rain. I was relieved from guard at 9 o'clock a. m. We see very little of our chaplain at this camp, for he is seldom here and we have no one to occupy the regimental pulpit. Two brigades of General Quimby's Division boarded the transports and left today for Vicksburg.
