Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Luman Harris Tenney: Thursday, August 20, 1863

After breakfast, went out for forage with the company. Found some hay out three miles over a rough stony hill. Got some corn for roasting. During the day read some in “Barnaby Rudge.” Had a quiet visit with Henry Drake. In the evening went down to the brook and had a good bath. Hired a first rate boy last night — George. (Colored servant.)
