Weather is still pleasant. We started at 9 a. m. and
marching eight miles, went into bivouac for the night. This is a fine country
and we found plenty of forage again today. Negroes are putting in the crops,
mostly corn. We saw some fine fields of winter wheat. There is very little cotton
put in here.
