Our provision train returned from the landing today. There
was some very heavy cannonading at Grand Gulf today, where it is reported that
the rebels are strongly fortified. Some of our transports ran the blockade at
Vicksburg last night. The Eleventh Iowa was mustered for pay today. The
sergeant-major reports the regiment as having five hundred and fifty men fit
for duty.
