Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: Thursday, January 8, 1863

The troops still on half rations, and a very small half at that. A few more days, and we anticipate that we shall be nearly starved out. Still no news comes this way from the armies; but we hope the tide of battle is rolling with the old flag aloft.
