Col. Stevenson made
a few remarks to us this morning after drill. He is good natured and jolly, and
a fine speaker. He gave us great praise and said he had the 7th Missouri, 8th
and 63rd Illinois, with the pick of another five or six regiments, among them
ours. He took us and placed us on the right of his brigade in preference to any
other.
