In camp on Cow Creek, 40 miles south of Fort Scott. Two men
were killed here by Standwaite some time ago. Poor water. The big twenty-five
miles prairie just beyond. Rode with the Sergeant Major. Fooled with him
considerably. Good time. Capt. Smith played fool, infringing on the Second
Battalion. Major Purington gave him a blowing. The mail came this evening.
Letters from Fannie and home. They did me good. I long for the furlough time to
come. Barnitz received a commission as Second Lieutenant. Pleased all. Wrote a
short letter to Fannie. Purington thinks of going on tomorrow.
