in case the teams stalled, and by the way they done nothing else for there is no bottom to this country as soon as the sod is cut through so that it made Mules of us all day but nevertheless we made eleven miles by a little after dark. Yesterday our Regt. was the second in line marched five miles through a drenching rain and went into camp by 8 1/2 A.M. Could go no farther for the trains could not get through. On the first days march our Division train of 150 Waggons broke 13 waggon tongues, and two wheels and as for yesterdays march I guess it was not much better for at dark there had not more than half the train got up. To day we are waiting for the Colored Division to pass. This is a most delightful day cool and pleasant.
