Night quiet. Relieved at 7.30 at camp at 8. find the whole
Regt at work on the fort. I go down to look on, large fort, visit the paymaster
on board the boat to try to get pay, he puts me off until tomorrow Mr. Vaugn at
the landing drunk. P. M. spent reading. Evening call on the P-M- as boat starts
tonight, he refuses to pay me, has been a very warm & sultry day & dust
almost unbearable.
