Raining very hard.
We have a blanket spread over poles to keep us dry. We got orders to march this
evening. Went five miles through mud and water, and it raining like fury. I
shall long remember this march, as well as a few others of my company. We fell
in the mud several times, and were certainly beautiful objects to look at with our
suits of mud, for we were completely covered with it.
