Quite cold and disagreeable; got up about 10 a. m. feeling
as well as could be expected after a hard day's march. The men had been to breakfast
and were in fine spirits; were relating their experiences in the late
engagement at Locust Grove. Banty — a little, jolly, duck-legged. Frenchman — started
for camp this forenoon for more rations and the mail, but after he had been
gone about a half hour a man from Company E. came from camp with both. The
weather has moderated and it is snowing this evening.
