Sunday Aug 28th [1864]

We were turned out again at sun-
up and counted over thus far I
believe only three are missing. there
are a great many rumors in camp in
regard to exchange and Parole, but I think
there is no truth in any of them. Sun
shining beautiful but not hot. A strong
wind blowing makes it cool. Between
10 & 11 A.M. they gave us our regular meal
today. they hoisted the stars & bars by our
camp. its a white rag with a red field in
the corner & bars (blue) across the red field
thirteen (13) stars in the blue bars. At 2 [?] P.M.
we got our soup & Corn Bread. Bread
selling at $5.00 a loaf. [a word erased here] I made an
effort to get some bread but did not
succeed. The day passed away pleas-
antly.
