We are now in camp twenty miles above Vicksburg. Received
orders to clean up our camp ground and to have company drill forenoon and
afternoon. A large detail was put to work and when the camp was put in order we
had our regular drills, one hour each time. A large fleet of troops came down
the river this morning.
