Sunday Oct 9th [1864]

Passed the night pretty much the same
as last night. I laid down and slept
until I got cold, then I would take
a turn around the Camp to warm
up. Morning clear & cool. At 8 A.M.
all the Squads fell in And was
counted by Quarter Master then we
drew rations. Bread 1 days ration (50)
2 Buckets of Beef. Just about twice
as much as we drew on the Isle
About 3 P.M. 400 more came in
Camp. I suppose there is 6,000 here
now. At 3 1/2 we drew soup. 4 Buckets
Rice Soup. It was not worth any
thing. Evening cool. At 8 I layed down
