July 29th. Weather delightful, barring the great heat. In the evening from six to eight o’clock the whole division was paraded for review by General French, commanding. The men returned to camp covered with dust, and saturated with perspiration. It is altogether too hot for unnecessary parades, at least so we think, who do most of the work.
