The regiment came
back to-day. Have been gone four days. Had some hard marching and lived high on
pigs and chickens found by the way. They went up the Pearl River, and captured
a small steamer loaded with tar and rosin. They feel fine and to hear them talk
one would think this matter of putting down the Rebellion is nothing if only
the 128th is given a good whack at it.
