the rain - Fred's horse strained himself in a mire yesterday. Today he exchanged with a soldier - He is learning to ride very rapidly & went with me over some very bad ground today - Most of the officers at my camp fire at night. Distance 10 1/2 miles - Wood & good very good & plenty - Water perfecting superb again as I ever tasted, & cold as ice.
