March 22. — Colonel Sherwin, 22d Massachusetts, came over to see me this morning. We rode down to the Fifth Army Corps, and stopped on the way at General [David B.] Birney’s and General Whipple’s headquarters. Saw Captain Dalton[1] and in company with him rode down to headquarters of the Fifth Corps. Saw Colonel Locke and Colonel [Alexander S.] Webb, and asked about Captain Williams. He was very highly recommended by both of them. Then went to the 18th and 22d Massachusetts and to General Barnes’s headquarters. Then called on Captain Martin, and Colonel Vincent,’ 83d Pennsylvania. Came hack to camp at 5 P.M. Was cloudy in morning, but cleared off towards noon. Roads muddy.
