Friday, 4th Rainy. E.I.R.B. II Cron. 2d Corth. 15. This morning I came off duty as officer of the day. Attended the Military School. Recited the 3 last lessons of the school of the co., then went to the hospital to get the certificate for discharge for Mathew Rayhill. We are fortifying the place very fast here. Our tents and blankets came yesterday, and 1000 pair of shoes. Various rumors but unfounded.
