Weather pleasant. The Fifteenth Iowa received their pay
today. I received a pass, and in charge of four boys of the company spent the
day in Louisville. The city is patrolled by large numbers of provost guards and
I had to carry my pass in hand all the time. I bought some clothes and several
articles to take home. My bill came to $26.40, as I spent $8.50 for a pair of
pants, $9.00 for a jacket, and $3.75 for an album, besides other articles.
