Cedar Town, Ga.,
November 1, 1864.
Abomination of abominations, train guard to-day. It is the
most disagreeable duty we are subject to on the march. I escaped the afternoon
duty by being sent out foraging. Got all the men would carry, and disgusted a
rich citizen considerably, also saw a nice, rosy-faced girl, whose teeth and finger-nails
would spoil a meal for any one of ordinary constitution. One man in our brigade
wounded, 40th Illinois, in a little skirmish to-day.
