Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Saturday, October 10, 1863

The Thirteenth came in and the Eleventh again went out on picket this morning. I was relieved from camp guard after two days' steady duty, and accompanied my regiment on picket. About dark our brigade received orders to be prepared to march at 6 in the morning, with one day's rations in haversacks and four days' rations in the wagons.
