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.
