Stopped at the National Hotel last night; looks like snow
this morning; got my pay this forenoon; returned to the Soldiers Rest about
noon; men in good spirits. Colonel Hunter was relieved this morning by Major
Jones; men started for the front this afternoon at 4 o'clock; hated to lose
them. I leave on the government boat to-morrow for City Point.
