Diary of Alexander G. Downing; Company E, Eleventh Iowa Infantry
    

Downing’s Civil War Diary.–Alexander G. Downing.

Friday, 2d–We are now on less than half rations and the outlook for anything better in the next few days is not good, although a train was expected to come through from Memphis today.[1] The railroad east and west from us has been torn up; the rebel cavalry seem to be able to destroy it as fast as we can repair it.


[1] The train the day before did not have provisions.—A. G. D.
