Sunday, July 31. — We started this A.M. and marched through Petersburg, the officers being sandwiched in between the negroes. Colonel Marshall and I were allowed to march with the white troops. We were placed on an island in the Appomattox. Rations were served out late in the afternoon.[1] Spent the night here.
[1] Got wormy bacon, raw onions, and hard-tack, and it was fine.
