Finished Jenkins' trial. No definite news lately. Charlie
Hay, Sergeant Heiliger, and Sergeant Clark returned. Hay and Clark get from Casey's
Board captaincies of first class. Heiliger gets second lieutenant of second
class. A queer result. The three are probably nearly equal in merit. Major
McIlrath reported near with detachments for all regiments. Captain Hood sick.
