Rienzi. Spent the morning as usual in suspense of
leaving, but finally the orders came to send all the baggage train to Clear
Creek, a distance of ten miles to the west, and that we were to be stationed as
an out-post. Detailed to go a-foraging, brought in two loads of corn from the
south. The 1st Section were ordered out to the front. Had the first rain storm
in the evening, and ere the morning I had a regular old shake of the ague.
