I was on fatigue duty, hauling wood for the picket post out
in an open field. General Hunter reviewed our brigade today and inspected
Company E. It is reported that he is to take command of the Seventeenth Army
Corps. All of us hope that it is a false report, for we do not wish to lose
General McPherson.
