Rienzi. Woke by the bugle at 3:30 A. M.; went out to
roll call and drill. The weather fine. Washed shirt and stockings for first
time. Wrote home. Drilled by Syl. Sweet in the evening on the gun. The enemy
skirmished our pickets, wounded three; our horses were harnessed ready. I felt
a little flushed.
