A little excitement
to-day. An attempt was made to spike some guns near the negro troops
headquarters. A few shots were fired but no one hit, hurt or captured. A letter
from my sister, Mrs. Rowley. All well at home. For a change I have a
troublesome boil on my leg. The weather is beautiful. Everything is growing—I
never saw leaves and flowers come so fast.
