Read some in the June Atlantic. Nothing especially interesting. After
dinner went down for Charlie and visited Delos per engagement. Had a splendid
visit, real social time. Got some lemon syrup, talked over our old experiences at
home and with “B. F.” In the evening went to town to hear Lane and Blunt. Lane
did well enough for a border ruffian. Blunt criticised the course of our
officers in arresting Wier. Referred to the whole thing as a conspiracy. 1st
Brigade did not cheer much till Gen. Salomon's name was heard. Then the boys
grew wild with excitement and cheered heartily for him. Blunt found, I guess,
that Wier had enemies and Salomon friends.
