Diary:
April 8-Tuesday
Still very windy and cold a severe
change in the weather.
Batt drill this morning in the firings
it is almost remarkable how this Regiments improves under Col Dudley.
it is as well drilled as a Regiment I have ever seen. Col Dudley says
it is one of the best Volunteer Regiments he ever saw. and is very
proud of it.
The Hatteras came in this morn with
Gen. Butler from the South and pass. an attack is to be made on
Friday morning on the Forts by the Fleet. and then is no doubt that
it will be successful. with such a force it would be impossible to
fail. Jane would say if she was here that Friday was an unlucky day.
time will tell if it proves so in this care. I hope not.
