Slept sweetly. Sun arose hot. Myself rather lame with a boil
on the right ancle, Temp & Capt hard to work get up a good shade & at
10, A. M. ordered ¾ mile
to the right & camp in the brushy woods where we have to cut out the brush
to make camp. The report of our likelyhood to be mustered out arose from the
publication of Genl Orders No 77, news here that Kirby Smith tells his men by a
proclamation that he intend to fight, are told that tomorrow at 8. a. m. we get
our Greenback rec mail today.
