We mustered and had
regiment inspection this afternoon. Major Peats of Co. K complimented the
troops quite highly on their clean guns. The ground is drying off fast. The
river is still rising. There is much sickness, and about two burials take place
every day. The "Rocket" came up tonight, bringing Gen. McPherson. I
heard an adjutant-general say that the Rebs had sunk the "Indianola.”
