We remained in camp all day. Large foraging parties were
sent out to get feed for the mules and horses. Our train loaded with supplies
returned from Kingston, down on the river. A construction train came in from
Kingston, repairing the railroad. The Twenty-third Corps from Schofield's army
has been moved to Kingston. All the troops are in camp in and around Goldsboro,
and it will be but a short time until all our supplies will be brought in from
the coast by the railroad. The Thirteenth Iowa received three hundred recruits
today.
