[June 26, 1863.]
Yesterday General Hunter was here on his way to Princeton. I
had a long talk with him. He says Montgomery is a natural soldier and a
splendid man; indorsed fully all I said of him. That is a good drill officer but
in fight fails to take advantage of his position.
Philadelphians are much excited about the raid, or invasion
of their state, but it does not penetrate my rooms. We open camp here to-day
with our company.
