Enroute. Advanced
about five miles, starting at about 8 o'clock, marched south, leaving Waterford
on our left. Halted some three hours on the road, it raining continually. We
were passed by General Hamilton and staff, also General Grant and suite. Came
into camp at 4 P. M. some three miles from the Tallahatchie in open field near
large mansion used as Quinby's headquarters. Stretched our tarpaulin and slept
sound.
