It rained nearly all day. I received a letter today from
William Green, my bunk-mate out in the front. He reports that the loss of our
company in the battles of July 21st and 22d before Atlanta was four men: George
Sweet and David Hobaugh killed, and H. Newans wounded, and Aaron Pearce is
missing. I wrote a letter to Albert Downing this afternoon.
