The Army continued yesterday's march until 3:30 this morning, when they stopped and ate. Many of the men slept out in the open on the levees of the Red River. However, it was a short night as the column began to move at 8 o'clock this morning.
They only moved about 3 miles before halting. The Union army skirmished with the Confederates in the afternoon and both sides lost a few men. The train moved on again at 6 o'clock and then camped about 1 ½ miles below Fort De Russey.
