Thursday, 15th—The weather is fine—days warm and pleasant and nights cool. The Thirty-second Illinois arrived in camp at 11 o’clock with sweet potatoes, fresh pork and corn for our brigade. We are still lying in camp without rations. We had company inspection and drill for the recruits. The First Division of the Fifteenth Corps advanced their skirmish line this morning toward the rebels’ post south of Savannah. There was quite an artillery duel and some sharp skirmishing, but our men succeeded in gaining their position.
