Last night command marched across the river after caring for
the wounded — building campfires. I rode on into camp and read home letters
brought by Maj. Nettleton. He called this morning and took breakfast with us.
Went down and got hard bread and a little sugar and coffee. Saw Corp. C. S., a
little active fellow and knows his business. Do not feel well today — hard cold
and bad boil. Read the news and Cincinnati Commercial of Dec. 1st. Nettleton
called in evening. Resolutions passed eulogizing Burnside and regretting his
loss.
