Creed T. Davis: August 29, 1864

Diary of Creed T. Davis, Private Second Company Richmond Howitzers.

In same camp as yesterday, and a good one it is. Wood and water convenient, and a good apple-orchard is hard by. Battery moved yesterday at the head of the column. John Otto, a Dutchman, one of the best soldiers in the company, deserted yesterday. He had been heard to say he would desert unless he could get wheat-bread to eat. He could not eat cornbread. Corn-meal is now issued to the company.
