Saturday Sept 3rd [1864]

Slept better last night than any
night for some time. it was
not so cold. When I got up it
was cloudy and looked like
rain. About 7 Oclock A.M. it
commenced to rain. The fire
bells rang again in Richmond
last night. This is my birth-
day. today I am 20 years old
At 11 A.M. we drew meat & Bread (21)
it cleared off and only rained
about one hour. 25 of our men went
to Richmond to work for the Gov
at 4 P.M. Drew Soup (2) and Bread (22 1/2) the
day turned out a very pleasant one
At dark Davis brought another loaf
Made a new place for a sink
and to get water.
