Gretna to Fort Worth and El Paso, routine duty at Fort Bliss, outposts near the Rio Grande, Mexican interactions, and hardships such as heat, water scarcity, and distant waterholes. He notes rations, mail, goats, local prices for camp stone, and shifts of company movements toward Boquillis and La Morla with tents, cactus barriers, and guard duties.
