Cold very, but still and clear — good weather. Warm in the
afternoon. Rode with Colonel Scammon to the different works. They are well done
as works, not very necessary, and not perhaps in the very best
localities, but well enough. They are, I suspect, creditable to Colonel Scammon
as military earthworks of no great pretension. Attended the funeral of another
man of Company B. Sad and solemn. The lively music after all is over offends my
taste. — A good, lively drill.
