May 11.— Another hot summer’s day. Sent a note to Captain Batchelder in regard to General C[rawford]. In the evening Captain Starr came over here from headquarters with Duncan Lamb, who is down here trying to find his uncle’s body, who was killed at Chancellorsville. The band from the 50th [New York Volunteer Engineers] came here in the evening, and gave us some very good music.
