This morning
everything is wet, for it rained hard all night. A fine introduction to the new
recruits, though all seem cheerful. We soon move from camp; marching on the
military road leading to Florence, Alabama. We arrive at Florence in the
afternoon, capture one rebel, and one seeking to make his escape gets killed.
We go into camp close to Florence to await for transports that are expected up
the Tennessee.
