Pleasant weather. The Eleventh Iowa was sent out with a
foraging train to get corn and fodder for the mules and horses of our brigade.
They had to go a distance of thirteen miles to get the feed. I being on camp
duty did not go. A train of cars came in from Newbern loaded with supplies for
the army, and our quartermaster received some clothing for the regiment.
