Diary of Alexander G. Downing: Sunday, October 4, 1863

Our brigade was reviewed this morning at 7 o'clock by General McPherson, major-general commanding the Seventeenth Army Corps. The pickets were not relieved until about noon, and so we missed the inspection. The boys are in camp today reading or writing letters.
