Weather still pleasant. The Seventeenth Army Corps was
reviewed by General Mower. We were out in full dress with knapsacks, haversacks
and canteens on. There is to be only one battery to each division of the
Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twentieth Army Corps. The remainder of
the artillery, with all defective wagons, horses and mules, is being sent back
to Chattanooga. All things quiet in camp. We received orders to be ready to
march in the morning at daylight.
