It has been really
uncomfortable all day, it's been so warm. Lieut G. E. Davis started for Vermont
this forenoon; have completed the ordnance return but it's not mailed yet. Most
of the officers have been playing ball this afternoon. The non-commissioned
officers have given us a challenge to play for the oysters to-morrow, and the
Colonel has accepted it; received a letter from brother Roy and wife and one from
home; have been reading army regulations, etc. Colonel A. B. Jewett has refused
to approve Lieut. E. P. Farr's application.
