Diary:
March 21-Friday
Cold and very windy day Gen. Butler has
not yet come ashore. the tide is very high and driving right on
shore. it is dangerous for a boat to make the attempt
Col Dudley was on shore to day looked
the Regiment over and consider it a fine one.
I suppose there will be some changes in
our line Officers very soon. Though probably must for a week or two.
No drills at all to day on account of
our [---] having no Officers that have any authority for the Mass 30
as this Regiment will be known hereafter. though we are have had no
orders as yet.
Lieut Louvrin is on gaurd to day. a
nice day for it.
