Camp near Yazoo City.—The
division arrived here after dark last night. The troops suffered greatly from
heat, thirst, and fatigue. Two of our brigade dropped dead, and some fainted,
while more than half are straggling into camp this morning. We traveled all
yesterday without water except what we could get through charity of the citizens
on the route.
