Thursday Sept 15th [1864]

Passed a very pleasant night
last night. Up at 7 A.M. Old
Sol out in all his glory and
prospect of a hot day. The Diarea
has nearly [word lined out] stoped on me
and I feel a great deal better
this morning. Sick call at 9
A.M. 3 men sick. At 10 1/2 A.M.
Drew Soft Bread (23) & Meat. [?]
Some says the paper states that
Gen Lee had evacuated Petersburg
At 12 M we turned out and the
squads filled to 100 men. At 4 P.M.
they issued soup (2) & Bread (23 1/2) the
Bread was miserable very sour
Roll call in the evening. All
present.
