I assume command to-morrow. Hate to relieve Colonel Gould,
who has done so well. I must write home to-morrow. They must be prepared to
hear bad news any moment. Under fire constantly. As I write, a bullet strikes
the tree near the tent. Another goes humming a few feet over. People at home do
not appreciate what this army is doing and suffering for them.
