We returned to our old camp just vacated and put our shelter
tents over the old "ranches" again. By 1 p. m. the tents were all
filled, we were at home once more and enjoying ourselves. The boys are now
waiting for orders to start for their homes, but we are wondering which way we
will go. Some think we will have to go back to the coast and take ship for New
Orleans; but I guess we will leave that to General Sherman — he has never yet
made a mistake in leading us.
