Diary of Corporal Alexander G. Downing: Saturday, April 9, 1864

It is cool and quite pleasant. I stayed at home all day and did some writing (brought my army diary up to date). The farmers are still lying by waiting for the weather and the ground to get fit for seeding. There is no news of any importance from the army.
