Weather fine. Started early this morning. Marched through Eaglesville to our old camp at Stones River. Thank God we are once more where we can sleep in tents. We have marched over 100 miles over the worst roads known and through a country God never smiled upon. We have been out 11 days and most of the time on 12 rations. We accomplished nothing. Only our cavalry took some prisoners and a few wagons loaded with old chairs etc.
Sunday Mar. l5th:
Weather cloudy and cool. Stayed in camp all day. Rumors are afloat that we march tomorrow with 5 days rations. Don't know our destination but expect we will go to the front again. Received letters from home and friends.
Monday Mar. 16th;
Weather splendid like spring. Nothing doing in camp. All quiet on our front. Received orders to go on picket tomorrow.
Tuesday Mar. 17th;
Weather so warm that we had to hunt a shade. Went on picket at 1 7. Relieved the 75th Illinois. I was on the second relief. Only stood twice. Had a good time -- easy duty.
Wed. Mar. 18th:
Weather still hot and sultry. Came off picket in good season. When we arrived at camp found Sheridan's division all in confusion. We soon found whats the matter. We were ordered to pull down tents and pack knapsacks ready to move. We moved back about one mile and made another camp.
