Dear Cgron;es II can think of moth
inc 10 write about but mud. Mud, mud,
mud. This is the muddiest place out
and if this should prove a muddy letter,
please bear in mind that that is the ell
absorbing topic here. A few DAYS last
week were remarkably pleasant and
springlike, and the grass was becom-
ing quite fresh and green under its balmy
influence. but yesterday morning the
scene changed. The sun shone out clear
and bright but soon became obscured by
heavy clouds, and all day the cold driv-
ing rain kept the men confined to their
quarters, and the camps looked deserted
and unpleasant enough.
Very unpleasant is picket duty in such
weather. The roads which were becom-
ing quite good ere as bad as ever. The
Railroad is in active operation between
this and Nashville and trains are running
constantly.
Too much praise cannot be given 10

ton than ever before. R~egimental, Brig

chosen with care, and are very attentive
to the performance of their duties.
The Paymaster is around and we ex-
pect to be paid OF the first of the week.
We will receive pay for four months, al
though the rolls were made out but foI
W months, under the impression that
that there was no: sufficient funds to go
around.
