Mnday
Dec 15
Had an excellent sleep last night right
on the ground. For breakfast I had roasted
potatoes, boiled fresh pork and boiled fish. George and
I went down to the river and washed up and we
started about nine this morning towards Goldsboro
We encamped about sundown in a large corn field.
We have been marching through a very pleasant con\un-
try to day. We halted for sometime near a farmhouse
where George Proctor got a chicken and picked it.
The boys have also stopped at some of the houses to
get apple jack on the road. My beet are very sore
all blistered on the bottoms, but I trust
in Gods mercy to bring me safely through
all things.
