Camp Flat Top. — A warm, windy, threatening day.
Drilled the regiment this morning; marched to the summit of Flat Top, thence
along the summit to the Raleigh Road, and so back to camp. Men looked well.
Companies A, E, and K, under Major Comly, with a howitzer, marched to Packs
Ferry to hold it, build boats, and the like. They take about twenty carpenters
from the Twenty-third, also six cavalrymen and a howitzer.
