We lay in bivouac all day, but at dark moved on about four
miles and again went into bivouac. The weather has been very pleasant for some
days. The muster rolls of the non-veterans of our regiment were made out today.
They received their discharge papers, as their three years' service will be up
tomorrow. There are twelve from our company: Albert Allee, John L. Ayers, John
Ford, George Eicher, Padenarin McCarty, Ebenezer Rankin, George Mooney, Hugh C.
McBirney, Joseph McKibben, Thomas R. McConnoll, Samuel Metcalf and Albert B.
Stiles.
