Diary of Corporal Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, April 10, 1864

It is still raining; there appears to be nothing but rain, rain! I went to meeting again this morning, and accompanied Mr. Sparks home for dinner. Jason Sparks is going to enlist and return with us to the front. In the afternoon we all went to attend meeting at the Inland schoolhouse, but the preacher didn't come, and so I spent the balance of the day with the family of Mr. Willey, and remained there till late in the evening.
