Diary of Corporal Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, May 15, 1864

We had regimental inspection this morning at 10 o'clock. Two regiments came out from Clifton as reinforcements for ours. We turned over all our tents, except one for every five men, and this evening received orders to be ready to march in the morning at 5 o'clock for Waynesburg, Tennessee. Jason Sparks arrived this evening from Iowa to join our company. He is well and happy.
