Friday, July 1st.
Private Carman shot himself in the head at 4 o’clock this morning. He is thought to have been rendered insane by a sunstroke. During the day a communication was sent by the officers of the regiment to President Lincoln through Governor Morgan, reciting the facts of which we complain—our fraudulent enlistment and perfidious treatment, and asking that justice be done us, but none of us entertains much hope of a favorable result. In the afternoon our battalion joined the First Battalion now with the First Brigade.
