On the Coldwater, Sunday, March 29. Cold, disagreeable. Sleet and rain part of the time. Health much better. Tied up near shore. Got our horses off across the “White Rose”; gave them good exercise. Stretched a picket, left them for the night. A solitary tent with two cases of small-pox was to be seen, left by the Louisiana fleet. Wrote home.
