Went over to Capt. Nettleton's tent and borrowed
Longfellow's "Hyperion."
Charlie came over in the morning and read Will's last journal and my letter
from Fred. Enjoyed both and a first-rate visit about home and “B. F.” and other
friends. Like Fred's course. Read in “Hyperion.” Enjoyed it pretty well. In the
evening commenced a letter to Sarah Felton. John Devlin and two other boys of Co.
F came in. Were in the late brush on Drywood. One of the corporals was wounded.
Had a clever visit with Newt. Adams. Bill tolerably drunk, yelling as usual.
Lively talk before sleeping.
