A very hot morning. Early in the Potomac River for a good
swim. Nothing like it. At the Quartermaster's I drew an army hat. The first I
ever had. They are worn by the western boys. Much better than caps. Trying to
keep cool during this hot day. Wrote a few letters. Mountains on all sides.
Turkey buzzards in the air.
