Not a single soldier in the whole army ever loved or respected him.

But he is dead now.
Peace to his ashes! We became starved skeletons; naked and ragged rebels.

The chronic diarrhoea became the scourge of the army.

Corinth became one vast hospital.

Almost the whole army attended the sick call every morning.
All the water courses went dry, and we used water out of filthy pools.
Halleck was advancing; we had to fortify Corinth.
