Rained last night; warm and cloudy today, threatening rain.
Yesterday warm and sunny but threatening. Captain Gilmore dined with me. Says
Colonel Hatfield reported that he was to command the brigade; says he [Gilmore]
and his men are mad about it, that they want this brigade commanded as it is.
Lucy and the boys to start today if possible. I hope it will
be more cheerful weather when they reach here.
