Chilly and cloudy; don't feel very well to-day, nor does
anyone else; all stiff and lame; don't wonder at it for we had to march through
mud and water ankle deep or more last night from the Rapidan without a rest.
The regiments were completely disorganized; officers and men all got lost from
their commands and both struggled and straggled into camp as best they could.
It was a mob and a disgrace to the Third Corps.
