Diary of Private Daniel L. Ambrose: Sunday, June 15, 1862

We have divine service to-day. The men pay due deference to the preaching of the gospel, though they are engaged in working war's mad machine, a machine which is said to be demoralizing in its work. The weather still continues very hot, even warmer than it has heretofore been.

“Keep us in the shade,” is the universal cry among the men.
