Sunday, 11th, dawns,
and with it comes full rations.
The trains are now
running from Memphis to Grand Junction, and thence to Jackson, and to Corinth.
In this way we receive supplies, and how welcomely they are received by the
hungry troops in and around Corinth. May the troops guarding the railroads be
more vigilant in the future, and never more pull down the old flag and hoist
the flag of truce!
