Long, miserable
day. Hear that Sedgwick is killed. I would rather that any other officer in the
army was gone than he. His body has come. Abbott's body is here too. Afternoon,
five of us hired a wagon to take us to Belle Plain. Macy wanted to go more than
I did, so I gave up my chance. Very hot. Awful amount of suffering here. Very
little attendance. No supplies. Here's a chance for the Sanitary.
