Very cold all day; remained with Kingsley until about 11
o'clock a. m. and then went over to the regiment some distance away; found the
men stationed at Ft. Dushane doing garrison duty. Colonel W. W. Henry has sent
in his resignation; sorry to lose him; has been the most popular field officer
we have ever had, all and all. Major L. T. Hunt has gone for good. Colonel C.
G. Chandler has been courtmartialed; will probably go home; shall stay with Dr.
Almon Clark; quarters in a house near the fort; men are without quarters; have
never seen the regiment so uncomfortably fixed.
