Flat Top. — A warm, fine day. My cold is still very
bad. I call to see Mr. French, the wounded citizen of Lieutenant Bottsford's
fight, now our Twenty-third chaplain, daily. He is in good spirits, but [the]
doctors talk discouragingly of his case.
News today that General Halleck has taken Corinth and twenty
thousand prisoners! Is it true? I hope so.
