Burnsville, Sunday, Oct. 18. Was on guard last night, and the way it rained while on guard at night relief was enough to drown one inexperienced. 2nd Division, 15th Army Corps, commanded by Gen. G. A. Smith, passed by at 9 A. M., also Major General Blair, who is in command of Corps at present. Also a large wagon train with 5th I [Illinois ?] Cavalry as escort. Ordered to have 200 rounds of ammunition in chest, 300 now in train, and 30 days’ rations. Mother very ill.
