Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: Monday, May 26, 1862

Nothing unusual occurred to-day: In the evening we hear a noise three rousing cheers go up from Company H's quarters for something or somebody. For what, or for who can it be? Strange to say none seem to know; but walking that way we discover that Lieutenant Ring has returned from his sick leave of absence, received at Shiloh, and is now among his men. These cheers speak for themselves; we will make no comments.
