Huntsville, Sunday, May 22. Inspection 8 A. M. Attended Sabbath school. Soldiers’ class large and interesting. Before returned to camp, listened to an eloquent and scientific discourse by Dr. Ross, Presbyterian Church. Wrote letters in the afternoon. Very warm. Traded sugar for milk. Made a fine bread pudding for dinner, great rarity for soldiers. A train of thirty cars loaded with “grey backs” captured by Sherman passed North; very dirty and filthy-looking clothes.
