Thursday, 12th Pleasant. We arose early and prepared to march. Our train started before 5 and at 6 we moved. The dust was almost intolerable, water poor and scarce, the weather hot and it was terrible marching. We marched 15 miles and camped on the north side of Tuscumbia creek. I bathed. Heard that Memphis (is) ours. Corn is drying up for want of rain.
