3d.. Start at daylight, have a very bad road for 5 mils then get into a sandy country 23 m from Chesterfield and make good time until dark. All the men very tired, The beans upon which we subsist are unfit to eat and the consequence is, nearly half the men are unwell, The Johnnies made a dash in the afternoon, between us & 2" Div. and gobbled quite a squad of foragers. The rascals, We met several of the foragers who had "run for it" and got in minus everything but shirt blouse & pants. Our B. in front of Div but our foragers got nothing
