Friday Oct. 21st [1864]

Very cold last night. Slept by
turns by the fire. Made Rawley
some coffee & toast. At 9 A.M. we
drew our Bread and Molasses. I
traded Molasses for Meat. Nothing of
any note during the day. At 3 P.M. we
drew Rice Soup. At 4 P.M. Drew
Wood. Evening clear & cool. Sick
in Camp increasing every day and
the mortality is also increasing. they
haul them out every [day] by the Wagon
loads. No shake today.
