Reveille sounded at 1 a. m. for the Iowa Brigade, and at 2 o'clock
we started for the city, marching down to the wharf for the purpose of
escorting General Sherman from the landing to the residence of Mr. Osborne, the
editor of the Louisville Journal. The general looks fine; he never looked
better to us boys.
