We lay here in bivouac again all day. Our quartermaster drew
some clothing for the regiment. I drew a pair of shoes, a shirt and a canteen.
We are still without provisions. We spent the day in cleaning our clothing and
equipments. There was some very heavy cannonading at Vicksburg today and we are
expecting to receive orders to leave soon for the lines in the rear of
Vicksburg.
