To-day we were
inspected by Gen. Foster, an all-day duty, as we were on our feet from early
morning till late in the afternoon. The most important feature of the
inspection (to one at least of the company) was the presentation to him of his
shattered gun by Gen. Foster, with the permission to "Send it home as a
present from your general.” It was a relic second to none.
