Diary:
May 22nd Thursday
Weather hot and sultry. I am afraid
that New Orleans is agoing to be a little warm for me especially if I
am to continue in this Department. to much travel in the sun. This
has been a very quiet day not much doing here now. put the work on to
the Officers of the other Companys I have been at the Office at Lt.
Col. Stafford’s desk. find it no more pleasant than other portion
of the work and not near so must variety in it.
Col Dudley is threatening to have us in
the Reg’t I would not be much sorry for we are losing in drill, and
it is no doubt an injury to the Regiment, for so many to be away.
Col. is Commander of our district and Asst. Military Commandant of
New Orleans— [Illustration]
