In the morning had to give up the book which I had borrowed from
Robinson. Accomplished very little during the day. Tried to write Will but
could not think fast enough, so threw aside paper and ink. Sale of cattle
confiscated at the fort. Archie attended. Stock mostly bought by Babcock and
Company, who are getting rich from the government. So are many of Kansas
officers interested in the many contracts made for the troops, purposely kept
here in Kansas. 9th and Battery arrived.
