The men found so much fault with our camp on the low ground
and made so much complaint about it at headquarters that our division was
ordered to move to higher ground. We moved today to a large piece of
sparsely-timbered land, high and rolling, where we will have a fine camp. It is
about two miles south of Louisville. The Fourteenth Army Corps and one division
of the Twentieth Corps, with the exception of the eastern men in these two
corps, have arrived at Louisville.
