Still in camp. The
men are drilled in batallion drill and dress parades are held regularly. I have
ridden around the country and must say that I have never yet seen so many
beautiful gardens. Assigned to the 6th division (McArthur's), 2d brigade
(Ransom). Both are old Chicago friends, and I anticipate a much pleasanter
time, as we were entire strangers in the old brigade and division (Quimby's and
Sanborn's). We are ordered to remain here until McArthur's Division comes up.
