Rainy today -- Kept my horse saddled all day, and performed duty alone, Head being sick. Our camp is pitched in a plowed field, a most wretched spot.
15 Moved this morning at four o'clock. Took charge of the head quarters baggage. Roads very heavy. Met Harlow Cobb with his engineer comrades pushing on Capt Duane's trains. Did a great deal of work before night and go sick thereby. Slept in a negroe hut with a dozen others and suffered horribly before morning. I have found something else that may be put among the "horrors of war". Horrible view
