It is said that we are waiting for Marshall and Heth. August 20.—Spent the morning reading Northern papers kindly left by the Yankees in camp for our entertainment. I fear that we have taxed their hospitality too heavily, as the commissary stores have fallen short. No rations issued, and we have subsisted to-day on green corn and apples. We need a more substantial diet, but as we have no base of supplies we must eat what is set before us and ask no questions. We have entered the borders of the land that flows with milk and honey and can live for a
