July 13.—Went out shopping to-day, and met John Hazzard of Mobile, captain of the Confederate Guards, which is in the Twenty-fourth Alabama Regiment. Camp life had improved him so much I scarcely knew him. He is a noble-looking young man, and one that Mobile may well be proud of. I had a visit a few days ago from Captain O’Brien of the same regiment.
General Bragg visited our hospital and complimented it highly. It is a pity we have to move, but there is too much noise here. We have been compelled to have the street barricaded to prevent wagons passing.
