Diary

April 28, 29, 30 - Had the same kind of routine day after day: running for about half an hour and then running on a sand bar and sticking fast for two solid hours at the least. We are all getting sick of it. Wishing some of the rebels would show themselves to vary the monotony. Got news through a rider on horse, that General Middleton had had a fight with the rebels, but no particulars.
