Buntyn Station. Warm and pleasant.
Orders to hold ourselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning. Went out
with Evans to forage. Got some sweet potatoes from a citizen. Drew soft bread
at the quartermaster's taken from Memphis. Sad news from Vicksburg. Sherman's
forces withdrawn to Napoleon. Health better. Drilled on the piece.
