Diary of 1st Lieutenant John S. Morgan: Sunday, May 28, 1865

Can hear an occasional shell burst in the fire of the ruins in town yet. Today there is an impression that we stay here but one or two days then to New Orleans thence home. Preaching evening, take a ride in skiff. Ship loaded with Negro soldiers passed out for New Orleans.
