Buntyn Station, Saturday, Jan. 10. Warm and pleasant. Orders to hold ourselves in readiness to march at a moment’s warning. Went out with Evans to forage. Got some sweet potatoes from a citizen. Drew soft bread at the quartermaster’s taken from Memphis. Sad news from Vicksburg. Sherman’s forces withdrawn to Napoleon. Health better. Drilled on the piece.
