Chilly wind from the southeast; very cloudy; looks like
rain; Company drill from 10 to 11 a. m. Our Third Division of the Third Corps
has been permanently transferred as Third Division of the Sixth Corps,
Brigadier-General Prince assuming command of the division. General French is
ordered to Washington, D. C. Our regiment was a favorite with him, and the
officers met in the chapel this evening to pass resolutions of regret, although
we are glad to go to the gallant Sixth Corps if ours must be broken up.
