Report that we are to go to Camp Cleveland, boys all
pleased. Made picket detail and heard the officers discuss military tactics.
Some rather ignorant. A beautiful day, warm and pleasant in the sun. Cold in the
shade. Capt. N. officer of the day. Small train came from the fort and recruits
for Battery. No news brought about going to Ohio and worse still, no mail. Pity
that none of the 2nd Ohio care enough about their fellow soldiers to send their
letters to them. Orders to march next morning at 6. Boys played poker till
midnight — precious little sleep.
