four times the amount, in interest now lost.
Since the return of the President and As
to the army, more firm confidence has been
inspired in the ultimate success against

On the 23d we were early notified to- be

were not called on, however, until afternoon.
Then we were quietly and secretly marched
about two miles to our left and rear, and,
connecting with the cavalry, advanced to
make a reconnaissance. We were formed in
line with skrmishers out, and moved forward
through some of their recently deserted
camps, over very rough ground tangled with
undergrowth in careful search of concealed
foe. Our force was the first brigade, and
Generals Leggett and Blair were out to see
the sights. The ground after little became
so uneven that the line had TO DE broken, and
advanced by column. Col. Falrchlld had just
got US in line, after leading US to the top OF

About this time our cavalry on the left came

We had to march back little, and to the

what men were aboard from Wisconsin, and
if they were well provided with what they
needed. l found some of them in need Of a
change of clothing, as they were quite dirty,
and some of them needed small amount OF

Mrs. Harvey, our agent at Vicksburg, for
the necessary supplies, who Immediately pre-

as they needed. / went back to the boat
with the U. S. Sanitary Agent, Mr.. Way and
he told the surgeon in charge of the boat
that the ambulance would soon be there with
some necessary supplies in charge of Mrs.
Harvey. But he was in a fret about some
thing else, and so would not wait, and started
off up the river leaving the men to suffer for
the want of things which were there in a

things as would make the men comfortable.
I took another boat and arrived at Cairo on

change of clothing, of which they were very
much in want. l give this statement that
those who have friends in the army who do
not always get needed supplies, may know
that the fault is not with the agents. but gen
