It's a beautiful day and everything is quiet. Very few arrests are made. The prisoners are all engaged to make bamboo beds for the soldiers and we can't get any more things made by them. The Tennessee boys still have charge of the penitentiary and jail. We go through regular drills morning and evening. We have had fresh meat every day this week. We have seven men on guard and eleven out on outpost. Just before we go to bed we have a messy shower. No report from the hospital. We have five on the sick list.
