Weather comfortable and warm, but few clouds and very little
wind. If the weather still continues fine a few days longer the army will make
an advance without doubt; have been talking with our sutler's clerk,
Huntington, who was a lieutenant in the rebel army thirteen months, but being a
Vermonter, on the death of his wife and child who were living in the south, he
deserted to our army.
