Still good weather and hot, with damp nights. Dr. Lewis
lingers along in a miserable state of existence, and scurvy and dropsy doing
their worst. His old messmates at the 9th Michigan regimental head-quarters
little think of their favorite, storytelling, good fellows' condition now. We
take as good care of him as possible under the circumstances. Two men shot to-day
by the barbarians, and one of them has lain all the afternoon where he fell.
