Diary of Corporal Alexander G. Downing: Saturday, August 13, 1864

This is general scrub-day, and we are cleaning up the wards of the hospital. We have good food for the sick served to them on their cots. The convalescents go out to the dining room for their meals. No news from General Grant's army.
