Diary of 5th Sergeant Alexander G. Downing: Monday, June 19, 1865

It is very pleasant, having cleared off during the night. We had regimental inspection again this morning. Our camps are filled with all kinds of agents from the city, trying to sell their nostrums to the boys; even the “dents” come out to pull teeth or to clean them for the boys.
