The weather has been very pleasant, but it's been a long
weary day; have been at work on Company B clothing rolls, etc.; no recitation
to-day. The Second Brigade has been having a review and drill this afternoon.
The Third Corps review has been postponed till to-morrow, but I expected to go
on picket; got a speech from Congressman Woodbridge; wonder what's come over
him to be so civil; he's Meader's (my student roommate) law partner, but he was
barely civil to me when I saw him in Vermont.
