14th Tuesday
Clear and very warm today. Got started about eight oclock. Followed the corps headquarter wagon. Went down to the river and parked.Saw the _____ lay the bridge. There did not have ____ enough to lay it all the way across(?) so it was taken up and they was going to ferry the supply wagon across(?) when other boats came from ____ headquarters on the other side. The bridge was not completed at dark. It was thought that we would ____ about twelve oclock. Had orders to be ready to move at that time. Had to add another days ration to the train. The rest of the corps train came up in the afternoon.
