Chattanooga, Wednesday, April 19. A very hot sultry day. Drilled from 8 to 9, battery drill. Returned to camp to receive a bouncing mail, four letters for me, better than at furlough. News is still very uncertain and exciting. Mobile and Johnston both reported to be captured, but it needs confirmation.
