Still another fine night; have been reading the newspaper to
the old gentleman, etc. Ain't I a good Yankee? One Johnny, a deserter, came
into our lines last night; reports that an entire brigade of the enemy whose
time has expired is fighting its way into our lines. Perhaps this may be true
but I can't vouch for it. I take it with a grain of salt. It is evident,
though, that a great number are deserting to our lines; have finished my
Company clerk book to-day. The moon is shining brightly.
