April 3.
You would laugh to
see me tonight in this naked, floorless tent, without fire, the rain pouring
upon my canvass roof and my candle flickering in the wind. During our absence
the new regiment took our tent floors and we are on the sand. These drafted men
are merged into the second regiment. I shall be delighted if the surgeon of
that regiment ever makes his appearance. Dr. Hawks is one of the examiners of
the exempts and as all have to be cared for, we three have quite enough to do.
Dr. Minor looks fatigued and it would not surprise me if he should have to haul
off for rest. Everybody loves him.
