Commenced drizzling in the morning and kept it up all day. I
was detailed to act as Sergt. Major, which pleased me much. Went with picket
detail and reported to Stewart at Salomon's headquarters. Went down and saw
Battery boys, and Archie, Reeve, Brooks, and Mason. Good time. In the P. M. Major
Burnett with detail started back to Fort Scott. Major sick. Our cook among the detail,
so we boys had to commence cooking ourselves. Kept raining all night. Battery
paid off and very noisy.
