The weather has
been generally mild this month, though changeable, but today it capped the
climax. There was a strong gale from the northwest, accompanied by rain and
snow. This is regular muster day. The Eleventh Iowa was mustered at 10 o'clock,
and we all had to fall in line by companies, and march to the colonel's tent,
where we answered to our names as they were called. This is a poor day for
"Veterans;" the re-enlisting is not progressing very fast.
