We had regimental inspection by the colonel at 2 o’clock,
and our regiment showed itself in good trim. Boats are passing daily, loaded
with troops for Vicksburg. I was on camp guard and the evening seemed to be
very long and lonesome. It put me in mind of the long evenings just before the
battle of Shiloh, and I thought how soon there might be another such a battle.
