Washington, D. C., June 18, 1865.
Since my last letter we have made one more change, and the
regiment now forms part of the garrison of Washington. That we have been
detailed for provost duty in this city shows that though we are now among
strangers, we are not altogether unknown.
We are camped quite near the Capitol, in a not very
aristocratic neighborhood. We have considerable guard and patrol duty to do,
now that so many troops are passing through on their way home.
