Wrote home and to
George's people in Tenn. Saw Gen. Kautz. He came over to pay us a visit. It
seemed good to shake his hand and talk with him once more. Hope that we can be
transferred to his command. He encouraged us. Preparations for a big move
tomorrow by the cavalry. May success attend us. Kautz thinks that Richmond is a
certain capture. Very hot day. Maj. N. goes to hospital, best man in our Regt.,
brave, upright, modest, dignified and sound in principles and morals. Would the
same could be said of more of our officers.
