The weather has been warm and quite pleasant for several
days and the roads are drying fast. Things are very quiet here. Colonel Hall is
now in command of our brigade. We have drill twice a day, though this afternoon
there was none, in order to give the boys time to wash their clothes and clean
up for inspection. I received $5.00 from Captain McLoney, for the month of
April, as cook for the officers' mess.
