Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Monday, August 10, 1863

We are living on fresh bread now; we got our first today, baked in the new oven. Each man is allowed to draw a one-pound loaf per day. We again have company drill twice a day, with dress parade at 5 o'clock. The weather is fearfully hot, day and night.
