Orders came in the
afternoon to get ready to march the coming day. New knapsacks were issued, and
rations kept ready for three days. Great times in camp, especially in the sixth
detachment, all the rations on hand being sold to Benson's for whiskey. Who
would not remember S. that evening, the stove, and O! Su!
