MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1864.
Something in the wind again
The rebs begin to tell us excha
nge stories so we will begin
to look for another move but
to where is yet to be found out
The sanitary goods that have
been sent here are being distrib
uted equally to the most needy
ones in camp with a few exceptions
A man gets only what he is entirely des
titute of.
