Our wagon trains now move unmolested back and forth from
Vicksburg to Jackson, since there are few of the rebels' cavalry left in this
section. Our brigade is to remain here at Clinton as a reserve to escort wagon
trains when needed. We hear that Sherman is still after Johnston. Our camp here
is quite low and damp, and a great many of the boys are coming down with the
ague.
