Diary:
June 13-Friday
Weather tremendous warm and mos-quitos
thick enough and nearly large enough to carry a man off.
Feel quite well to day went over to
quarters and stopped nearly all day the Regiment are expecting orders
to move up the river shortly.
Rumor here that McClellan has had a big
fight near Richmond. Hope it is true, but we hear so many rumors that
we do not believe anything we do hear lately.
Captain Shipley does not seem to get
any better, is continually ailing not very sick but still not able to
do anything. is weak and has no appetite goes out to dinner and when
he comes back he is all used up, has to lay down and rest.
Whit is tough and hearty has done all
the work since we have been in Baton Rouge. It is hard for him but
cannot be helped just now I shall return to duty in a few days I
think. though the doctor says don’t hurry.
