Went to town and saw Sister M. and A. B. off at 4:20. Hated
to see them go. Hope to see them at home soon. Very warm.

Diary of Captain Luman Harris Tenney: Thursday, June 1, 1865
At breakfast met an old friend of the 2nd. Raised Co. F.
Comfortably settled in the cars at 8. Melissa enjoyed the Cheat River and Cheat
Mountain scenery first rate. Bellaire at dark. Some country lads and lassies on
board. Met Birge on Central Ohio sleeping car.

Mr. Birge told us of Martin Fitch's death by drowning. God sustain
the afflicted. After washing up at the Gibson House, Melissa went to see Ellie
Bushnell. I attended to business and then went home with Albert. Pleasant
visit. Like Mr. Morgan and family. Al and wife went back with us — ice cream.

Went to Court House and auction sales with Albert. Regt.
came in early. Spent several hours with Watson. He is feeling badly. Am sorry
for him. Many of the boys drunk. Two men drowned. Very sad. Co. E. Melissa
received rather a rough initiation. Wheel broke, so had to lie by several hours
near Cincinnati.

Another clear and beautiful day. Read “A
New Atmosphere.” Game of whist. Passed the Cumberland and Tennessee in the night.
The riding in the evening was delightful. Gathered on bow and sung.

Took on coal at Cairo. Rounded the point and entered the Father
of Waters. Had a quiet and pleasant ride. Monotonous country along the levee. A
great many wood yards.

Talked of going to camp today, but too rainy. Got a carriage
and we six rode over to Arlington Heights, the forts, Arlington House and Freedmen's
School. Wrote to Mother. Had a good time. Went to theatre.

Still raining. Folks concluded to go to Richmond today. Went
to camp on 8:30 train. Nettleton went down. Regiment ordered to Missouri. Too
late for Richmond. Great feeling among the boys. Disappointed. Q. M. rations.

Busy most of the day fixing up Company papers. Unable to
find Company's desk. City Point boys up. Quite full company. Orders to move at 4

Reveille at 2 A. M. Turned in stores. Packed up. Went to
town with Lu at 10. Got some strawberries at Mrs. Mills'. She has been very
kind to me. Ice cream with Stanton. At 3 P. M. took the cars with Melissa for
Cincinnati. Went as far as Frederick City and remained over night at U. S.
Hotel. M. and I took a stroll up street. Had a very pleasant time. Talked about
Fannie. Her conduct seems very strange and yet I can not condemn her. I feel as
of old. God will right things if it is best. I am very happy to be with my good
sister.

Chester and I walked about town. Cavalry arrived yesterday. At
noon we got a carriage and drove over to Command. Seemed good to see the boys
again. Beautiful camp, two miles from A. W. and A. with the Potomac, Giesboro
and Heights in full view. Very romantic.

Melissa came last night. Lu has gone over to see her. Talked
of getting up a paper asking absent officers to leave the service. Dropped it.
Rainy. Major Welch came over. Quite a time with Div. excitement.

Rode a little distance with Major Welch. Told him of the plan
talked of. Read in “Skirmishes
and Sketches” by Gail Hamilton — much interested. Order for the Grand march

Ordered to move. Went out beyond Fairfax Seminary to see
105th Ohio. Cumings and Wilcox away. Intended to stop to see Melissa as we
passed through Washington, D. C., but found the marching order countermanded,
so went back to camp.
