. . . From General Cox I hear that I can't send captains on
recruiting service. This disappoints Captains Drake and Sperry. I have named
Lieutenants Avery and Hastings. I also learn that I can't go home to recruit
the Seventy-ninth Regiment whose colonel I am to be if and if. Well I don't
care much. I should never find such a regiment as the Twenty-third.
