Cold and windy; no quarters or accommodations of any kind;
have been down to General Stevenson's to get relieved, but he won't listen to
it; went later to Colonel Hunter to get permission to go down town to sleep,
but he won't let me go; am to stay with the Quartermaster to-night; have drawn
fifty-four shelter tents for the men who are out of everything are blue at
having to stay here, and everything's depressing. I am glad they are good men;
wish I was out of this.
