Diary of Private Alexander G. Downing: Thursday, March 10, 1864

It rained all day yesterday, and today it is quite cool. The expedition that is going up the Red river left this afternoon. Regiments are leaving every day for the North, going home on their veterans' furloughs. We are still on guard at the roundhouse.
