This morning it is
raining; we are now out of rations; report to the regiment on Blue Water, where
we go into camp and draw from the teams three days' rations, and after feeding
and enjoying each a quart of fine coffee, as good (so we thought then) as any
woman ever made, we again receive orders to saddle up and be off. We proceed
back to Raw Hide, where we join Company K, who came before us in the morning.
Our orders are to remain here and patrol the river between this point and Eastport.
