Diary of Alexander G. Downing; Company E, Eleventh Iowa Infantry

Sunday, 6th—I went on patrol guard in the city today, and shall be on guard off and on all night, looking for spies. I attended the evening services of the Baptist church while off duty after a two-hour shift. The weather is nice and warm, as it has been for many days.
