Etowah Bridge, Monday, Aug. 1. On guard, second relief. Health good. Everthing passed off smoothly with the exception of no papers came. By order of General Sherman none to be sold this side of the front, his policy being “those that fight shall read”. Right, and we cannot grumble, but hope they will furnish enough for both soon.
