Monday, 19th—It is very pleasant, having cleared off during the night. We had regimental inspection again this morning. Our camps are filled with all kinds of agents from the city, trying to sell their nostrums to the boys; even the “dents” come out to pull teeth or to clean them for the boys.
Chattanooga, Monday, June 19. Grazing day. Started out 8 A. M., crossed the ridge and way out to Chickamauga. Grazed horses on our way back. Made a flank movement on a magnificient patch of dewberries and blackberries. Ordered by our superior officer to “go in”. We tied our horses and fulfilled our orders to the letter. Those who had buckets, filled them, those who didn’t, did better, staid there an hour. I ate long after berries had ceased to be a luxury. Reached camp 2 P. M. 20th Indiana Battery Heavy Artillery turned their guns over to-day. Has the good work begun?
