The heat continues as yesterday. The Eleventh Iowa signed
their payrolls today, and the Fifteenth Iowa received their pay. I was on
fatigue duty all day. We had dress parade this evening for the first time since
May 19th. The boys came out in fine style. Troops are leaving every day to
reinforce different commands of the army of the West.
