Company E went out on the picket line today. The nights are
getting cooler and the middle of the day, though warm, is not so oppressive.
Since our rainstorm it begins to look like autumn; the trees are beginning to
turn various colors and the sun shining over the timbered hills in the late
afternoon makes a landscape grand to look upon.
