The Revolutionary period may have been the time that tried men's souls; but this is a time that tries men's bodies, and especially their stomachs. We get nothing to eat save a few hard bread which the men brought along; and the poor horses eat what they can pick up of themselves. At Savage's station after allowing my horse to eat all he wanted I filled my saddle bags with corn. I realize the need of it now.
This morning we had some coffee and hard bread for our breakfasts. McClellan's staff and Franklins with us. It was the first time I breakfasted with the Orleans Prince. Joinville too.
