I was detailed with six men from the Eleventh under me, as
special guard at the roundhouse. We were detailed about midnight to relieve the
Ninety-fifth Illinois, which will accompany a part of the Sixteenth Army Corps
down the river, and then on an expedition up the Red river. The Seventeenth
Army Corps is going home on veterans' furlough.
