We remained here in bivouac all day. Orders came for our
brigade to return to Black river bridge and remain there until relieved by
General Sherman. The cars are coming through now from Vicksburg twice a day. We
are very anxious for mail, having had none for many days, and are disappointed
in not receiving any today. We put in our time today cleaning clothes.
