We had regimental inspection this morning at 8 o'clock. The
regiment showed itself in splendid order. A man from the Fifteenth Iowa was
buried this morning, having died of fever.1 Some of the sick boys of
our regiment started home today on their furloughs. Mark Titus was the only one
from our company, though some of the boys still have the fever.
