Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Thursday, July 9, 1863

There is no news of importance and we have had no chance yet for newspapers. We have scant news while out here in the woods, sometimes getting no mail for eight or ten days at a time. All our teams went to Vicksburg today for provisions. The forces of Sherman and Ord are still pursuing Johnston.
