October 14th. 1864.
I saw Colonel Luce this morning. He is much improved in health, and takes command of the regiment tomorrow. There are rumors in circulation that our regiment is to be broken up. It is said our recruits are to be transferred to the First Michigan Sharpshooters, both officers and men, while the old members are to be retained at Division Headquarters as provost guard, clerks, orderlies, etc.
