CAMP STEVENSON.
Sunday. A splendid
day; but what a miserable-looking set of boys we are!—stiff, lame, and dirty,
and hungry for more beans. We received the welcome order, "No work for
three days." We went to church this morning, so there are really only two
days and a half, and they will soon be gone. But we have letters to answer,
trips down-town to make, for those who can get passes; and the first thing we
know it will be Wednesday.
