Diary:
May 28-Wednesday
Business not very brisk this morning.
Took an order to arrest B[---] of our
navy an asst. Purser and take him before Gen. Butler, done so, and
returned to Office. the rest of the day I spent in Office at table of
Lt. Levi Stafford acting Deputy Marshall, find it harder than the
running around the City, continuous talking, answering questions
about assaults and battery. confederation money, and thousand other
useless questions, which we have nothing to do with at all.
Provost Office continually beat with a
hungry crowd for passports & licenses and enough work to keep 20
men jumping all the time more business then I was ever connected with
in all my life.
Lieut Covey got in trouble at the Lake
and in some manner shot a woman of the town, the ball entering the
fleshy part of the thigh but doing no serious injury, Lt is
Quartermaster of the 31st Mass Vols.
