Corinth. To-day it
was a little warmer, the rain of the last two days having cleared. My anxiety
to visit the Battery was such that I was induced to start out on foot in order
to see them. The walk was rather fatiguing as it was rather warm, but we found
them at last on a ridge in a shady grove. But it did not look much like the
camp of the 6th Battery, as they had no tents pitched and were quartered in
brush bivouacs or under tarpaulins; I found them all well but somewhat reduced
by the march. I remained with them for an hour, then retraced my steps alone
through the solitary woods. I enjoyed pleasant thoughts of the good times to
come. I reached camp by sunset well pleased with my walk and not as fatigued as
I expected.
