Diary:
April 4-Friday
Weather very comfortable this morning.
The Great Republic in this news from
Portland she brings a portion of the main troops and some Horses. one
other ship which came in with her I could not get the name of.
Robert Dale Court martial to day he
plead guilty to the charge and his sentence has not been made known
as yet.
About two hours engagement between 3
Rebels Gun Boats and the New London. right in sight of the Island. it
created quite an excitement.
Rebel Gunboat Wallis captured by the
New London with a cargo of Spirits turpentine & Rosin, & 20
men.
Batt. drill under Col Dudley to day it
seems quite natural. We have lots of work on hand. making Quarterly
returns of Ammunition & Clothing and everything we have.
