Well, another birthday has passed and with it another year
has gone, and one of great military experience, and I trust it has been
profitably spent; very warm till about 3 o'clock p. m. when it showered; had
monthly inspection at 4 o'clock p. m. General Wilson's division of cavalry
started this morning on a reconnoissance towards Martinsburg; heard heavy
cannonading about 3 o'clock p. m.; can't learn any particulars.
