Moved into my new quarters last night. Ratherish damp; roof
and gables of “shakes,” a little open; no ceiling or flooring above; altogether
cool but not unpleasant. A letter from Dr. Joe. Lucy and Birch and Webb to come
up and give me a visit. Right jolly! A letter from Uncle also.
Rosecrans by his fiery and energetic courage at Murfreesboro
or Stone River saved the day. Not intellectually an extraordinary man, but his
courage and energy make him emphatically the fighting general of this war.
