It's rumored we are to move camp in a day or two; wish they
would allow us to stay here; had monthly inspection at 3 o'clock p. m.; men in
good condition considering. Captain Day was our inspecting officer. Captain G.
E. Davis has gone to City Point; returned at 9 o'clock p. m.; got me two wool
blankets; rumored in camp Jeff Davis is dead; don't believe it.
