Men Foraging 113
by the teams and cooked coffee, then moved down the road 1 1/2 miles and camped for the night in the woods on the left of the road. Some cannonading in the direction of Bellfield Station in the night. Foragers found a grate amount of sweet potatoes an liquor and some got pretty tight. My tentmate boiled potatoes in whisky. This was a dreadful tedious night for the men for the rain and cold poured a sleat upon every thing it fell upon, the trees and ground was icy early in the morning.
