Rather a gloomy day. It rained hard from 9 o'clock a. m.
until about noon. Lieutenants Davis, Welch and Wheeler have gone on picket with
a hundred men from our regiment. There was Company drill this afternoon. It
rained so this forenoon that battalion drill was suspended; rained hard this
evening, too. Election returns from Maine this evening show that State to be
strongly Republican.
