Another warm summer day; have been at work on clothing
rolls, also laying down sidewalk in front of my quarters. One of our new
recruits has gone to the hospital to-day sick with lung fever. General W. H.
Morris has returned from his home near N. Y. city with his sister and a lady
friend. This evening he rode through the camp and was cheered by the men. The
bands are serenading him to-night, his headquarters being just about a hundred
yards in rear of my hut. It is bright moonlight.
