Tuesday, 30th—The weather is pleasant and seems to be settled. There is nothing new.

30th. Reveille at 2 A. M. Turned in stores. Packed up. Went to town with Lu at 10. Got some strawberries at Mrs. Mills’. She has been very kind to me. Ice cream with Stanton. At 3 P. M. took the cars with Melissa for Cincinnati. Went as far as Frederick City and remained over night at U. S. Hotel. M. and I took a stroll up street. Had a very pleasant time. Talked about Fannie. Her conduct seems very strange and yet I can not condemn her. I feel as of old. God will right things if it is best. I am very happy to be with my good sister.
Chattanooga, Tuesday, May 30. Up bright and early, policed around the stables, “blacked boots” and brushed up our brass, etc. But no inspection came, so all of this is in vain. Cool day, did but little. Drew a day’s rations of soft bread, which is getting to be a rarity. The cry of “paymaster coming” is again raised in camp. Our sutler gone to Nashville for a supply of goods on the strength of it. Several hundred dismounted men of Wilson’s Cavalry Corps and of 1st Wisconsin came in on the evening train. The entire command is expected here to-morrow. They have seen much work lately.
