Resumed our promenade
at 7 this morning, and for a change it is raining hard. Therefore the snow is
melting. Consequently, the roads are nice and soft. Halted at 3 this evening—still
raining. We made ourselves as comfortable as possible made a good fire to dry
ourselves by, but the worst of it is we have no rations, and the wagons are
behind. We went to sleep in our wet clothing, with a cup of coffee as our
supper. It rained and snowed all night.
