Tuesday, June 28th.
We joined the Infantry Brigade to which our battalion was assigned, while it was on the march to relieve a part of the front line, and after halting a while to rest, moved into some woods and threw up breastworks at right angles with the former one. It looks as if we may remain here for some time. Lieut. Edmonston with a detail from the company was ordered out on picket, and during the day King, the regimental sutler, put in an appearance, and those of us who have money are enabled to vary a little our rations of pork, hardtack, coffee and brown sugar, and that abominable combination known as “scouse.”
