Weather pleasant,
but rather cold. The Fifth Army Corps was reviewed by Major-Gen. Burnside.
Started out of camp at nine A.M., marched about four miles, and came to the
place where the review was held. The corps was drawn up in line, and passed in
review; was dismissed, and returned to camp. Capt. Martin started for home in
the first train for Aquia Creek the next morning.
