June 7. [Okolona, Mississippi]—Colonel Williams, quartermaster for Price’s army, and two young men, his assistants, are boarding here. They have a small room for their stores, for which they are very thankful, as the place is so crowded.
One of the young men who is with the colonel is an Episcopalian. To-day he informed me that Mr. Clute intended having service in the open air, as his church, along with the others, has been taken for a hospital.
