I sent this morning to J. C. Dunlevy, Lebanon, the following
dispatch: “I am glad to hear that the Seventy-ninth is likely to be promptly
filled without drafting. If so I shall join it as soon as leave can be
obtained.” So I am committed!
A fine rain this P. M. — A most gorgeous picture was
presented by the sky and clouds and the beautiful hills surrounding, as I sat
looking at our dress parade.
