Morning cold. It froze some last night.
At 8 A.M. we drew our Ration of Corn
Bread. it was not half baked And very
small loaves. Yesterday we drew Salt
And part of the Camp drew Potatoes
instead of Meat. The Men are
dying off faster than ever. 185
last week. Average 26 per day
I spent the Afternoon in the
Hospital with Rawley [H. Jolliff] he was
very low. We drew soup in the
Afternoon. Dick [Sgt. Isaac Moore] bought some Rice
& Salt. My throat got very sore
today
