Rained during the night. Rained 19th and 20th all day; looks
like rain all day today. This is a beautiful valley from Piatt down to its
mouth. Make west Virginia a free State and Charleston ought to be a sort of
Pittsburgh.
P. M. Warm and bright until 6 P. M. An April shower. Camp
getting into order; gravel walks building, streets making. Muddy now, but it is
a loose porous soil and will turn out well.
