Tuesday. Got up before roll call this morning, & feeling much better than I did last night. Took my third blue pill & went out & took my morning wash, ate only gruel for breakfast. Took a dose of salts by the Dr’s advice, & kept [to] my room most
Of the forenoon. Still feeling pretty well. Wrote a letter to Mother, finished Nellie’s, & put in a short acc’t. of Edwin Young for Pamelia, inclosed all in the same envelope, addressed to Nellie. Mailed Holbrook & Staples final statements to Adj. Genl, Washington. We expect to leave this place for Brashear City tomorrow. George went out this morning & brought in a fine roasting pig, which he soon dressed, & Betsy the Col’s Cook roasted nicely. My appetite for roast pig is strong, but shall not indulge it to any great extent, as my diarrhea still continues
