We have had no
excitement since we left Vicksburg. Nothing has transpired here to cause a
"yell" even. We have lived out the allotted time in quarantine, but
have received no orders as yet to go back into the world again. There has been
no small-pox for over twenty days, and the boys are suffering more from the
confinement than from the pestilence. Last night was the coldest of the season.
Ice formed to the thickness of a quarter of an inch. Arch Sloan, of our
company, died night before last of measles.
