Drill this morning
from 6 till 7 O'clock Orders to march tomorrow at 12 M. to Cairo. Some
disappointment among the men but generally resigned to go where they are
ordered. It was hoped that we would be ordered to Mo. but those hopes are now
blighted and we will now go to one of the most unhealthy spots in the U. S. to
stay we know not how long Well anything to save our Union Our beloved country
let it be what it will.
