inspection today and the usual dress parade. All things are quiet in camp and
no news. I attended church services in the afternoon. Since the arrival here of

retiring beyond the Black river. In all probability they are informed as to our
contemplated expedition and are concentrating their forces to dispute every
mile of the way to Meridian.
