Washington's Birthday.
We are moving out with bag and baggage to Bailys Crossing and camp there. During our March we encounter a horrible muck (mire) which was especially bad on the way back, we had difficulty getting through. Notwithstanding all that, the men are in the best of humor and the march home was accomplished in one hour.
In the afternoon every Company received a barrel of beer.
Singing and cheers filled the air.
