New order this morning. We are to have Company drill twice a day at 9 and 2. Drilled by Elliot this morning.
Bennet D. Goodrich made requisition on the Sutlers and brought home 16 pairs of suspenders and 9 cans of peaches. Tried to get a pass to go to Murfreesboro to carry peaches and butter to Duncan Hamilton who is lying wounded there but the obstinate Englishman clerk for the adjutant failed to get it signed so I did not go. Weather still cloudy and cool. No news from the front.
Important news from the army of the Potomac. Burnside is advancing. McClernand is making a forward movement. Grant is to cooperate with him. I hear nothing from HOME. The mails are to come through as all difficulty has been settled with the Railroad.
Jan. 27th:
Still in camp. Sick today with the bilious colic. Ate quite a hearty supper last night of Beans Biscuit and Butter and a stew of Vinegar & Molasses Allspice and pie.
This morning we learned of Dwight Lincoln's death. He died the 18th of Jan. Anthony Daily is getting better and hopes to join the company soon.
Goodrich quite unwell today.
Norton goes to town to see Hamilton today who complains of the treatment he receives from Dr. Fitch.
Rained all night and is snowing this morning the weather is awful. No drill today. The regiment was ordered to go work on the fortification but as the weather was so bad the order was countermanded. I went up with Norton and found Hamilton getting much better. I saw the ball that was taken from him. It was an English ball about 1 inch long.
