A fine morning. All is quiet in camp. Found a place where I
could wash my clothes and dry them. Drew rations. Am feeling fine. A hot sun
and dusty roads to march over, a fellow cannot keep very clean. Having a good
rest in the good cool woods. We cannot help to wonder why we are in this
section of the woods, unless the enemy are somewhere about here. Private
soldiers are not supposed to know anything, but to obey orders.
