Huntsville, Friday, March 25. Rainy and disagreeable day. Wrote a letter and read most of the day. Peel quite dull and troubled with bad cough. Four more recruits arrived from Wisconsin, having been left behind sick when the others came. Two horses died to-day, which is the same nearly every day. They have a species of distemper, and will die soon unless prevented.
