Wednesday, 3d—We lay still again today, but all improved their time cleaning up their accouterments. We drew two days’ rations, which relieved our hunger. We received orders to march early in the morning. Colonel Chambers returned from the North today. He is to take command of our brigade, a thing a great many of the boys were sorry to learn.
