After dinner took three days rations out to the brigade. while we was out ,  there the whole division train moved. They went about one mile across the railroad and south of the town. Of course the train had to move too It seems almost to lead to move so. As soon as we got all fixed up nice and comfortable we have to pack up and go. Parked in an open field near the railroad Our three wagons came back at night loaded with whiskey soft bread and Potatoes.
