1862 April 9
Still continues to hail. Are very short of raitions, we never have suffered as much before. During the afternoon the hail turned to snow, which fell all night. I was too cold to sleep, so made my self miserable by keeping fire warm all night. Our horses are up to their girts in the mud, and are half frozen to death.
