Still the weather continues fine. There is not a cloud to be
seen or a breath of air stirring, and yet it is quite a sharp morning. The
Company got another mail this forenoon but there was nothing for me; was
relieved from picket this afternoon about one o'clock: arrived in camp about
four p. m.; found plenty of Company work to keep me busy all tomorrow. Lieut.
C. G. Newton started for Vermont this morning; have been studying tactics this
evening; got my books from home I sent for last week.
