[from the diary of Sgt., Z. Lee Gilmer, Co. B, 19th Virginia Infantry (Albemarle Rifles)
The malitia is the
main topic of conserva-
tion through camp. "I
wander what the Legisla-
ture will do" &c [we hear?] (words obscured by ink blob)
every day. "Tomlins bill is
the best" & so on; for months
past the Vols have been very
much dissatisfied at the cou-
rse they have taken with
the malatia & it has not
been provided for yet the
Vols have been treated shamefuly
If they had have been
rightly delt with every
man would have reinlis
ted. Gen Beauregard left
here (Camp Centrevill)
yesterday for Ky the
Army of the Potomac was
very anxious to go with
him but he took none
he is much the most
popular General we
have we have had bad
weather now for about a
month straight ahead.
it has been shocking & yet
continues so. the roads are
almost impassible
