Wrote a short letter to Melissa. Considerable talk among
officers about the colonelcy. Tod says Ratliff can not be colonel. So it is
thought Major Miner will be the favored one. He says he will either run the
regiment or be out of it! Considerable prejudice against him among the men on
account of his course at Carthage in April and on the march from Flat Rock.
