Thursday, Nov. 3rd [1864]

Rained very little during the Night. I
slept very little on account of the smoke.
Morning very cold & and cloudy. Looks
as if it was going to rain again. Camp very
muddy & disagreeable. Made Rawley [H. Jolliff] a
cup of Beef Stew. found him a great deal
better this morning. At 11 A.M. we drew
our Ration of Rice Soup. The day was
very disagreeable and drisling rain
at intervals most of the day. At 12
I made Rawley another cup of soup.

At 3 P.M. We drew our Ration of Hard
Tacks. they run 7 to a man. At dusk
we made a Bucket of soup. After
dark rained very hard for a while
