Mr. Parker came last
night, and is to be our chaplain. He is the one who preached for us at Hudson
Camp Ground, and the one we asked to have for chaplain of the 128th. He can
sing like a lark, and we are glad he is here. There are many good singers in
the regiment. There is talk of organizing a choir or club, and no doubt the
dominie will join it. We have more good news from the front. McClellan seems to
fit the place he is in. It is reported that George Flint and Elihu Bryan have
been taken prisoners. I know them well, but don't remember the regiment they
went out in.
