It is raining again today, and the roads between our camp
and the city are almost impassable. We are poorly fixed here for washing and
cleaning our clothing. The long march from Goldsboro, North Carolina, has been
pretty hard on our clothes. We have not received any pay since November, 1864,
and some of the boys are getting pretty short of change.
