A fine morning, Captain Samuel Darrah has been down; have
sent to camp for the mail and more rations; quite a comfortable day. All's been
quiet through the day, but to-night there's been some firing both sides of my
post along the line; mail has come but no letter for me. The countersign is “Vera
Cruz.” It's a beautiful night.
