June 4. — I got up about 2 o’clock, and had all our things packed up, expecting to start, but nary move did we have. Remained in camp all day. Wrote Father in regard to Palfrey[1], and forwarded his application for a commission. Heard this evening that Colonel Dana, our quartermaster, had resigned.
[1] Hersey G. Palfrey, of the class of 1860.
