March 27. — Day clear and beautiful. There was a hurdle-race at General Birney’s headquarters, besides other amusements. One man was seriously injured by his horse falling on him. The general and staff went over to the race, and from there to Major Spaulding’s, where the general reviewed the detachment. I was at home all day. Received present of some fish from Major Cassin.
