Monday Nov 7th [1864]

Clouded up after dark and rained
Some 600 more Prisoners came in
some time during the Night last
night. Captured on the 27th Oct. they
report every thing favorable inside
our lines. They had a General
engagement on the 27th Oct 1864
Rawley is still getting better,
Made a Pot of Mush & baked a
small cake early this Morning.
The day wore away slowly. At 3 ^'P.M.'
I took Rawleys Clothes for him
At 3 1/2 P.M. Drew our Rice soup. At
5 P.M. we drew Corn Bread right from
the Oven. The loaves were larger than we
got at Belle Isle, but it was not as good.
No salt in it And baked to quick. Made
it sour. Eat it all

Probably referring to engagement at Boydton Plank Road, S.W. of Petersburg, Va.
