Diary of a Young Officer–Josiah Marshall Favill (57th New York Infantry)

Sunday, 25th. Fine clear day; regiment inspected at nine A. M., made a good appearance; in the evening at dress parade, I read a lot of orders, the accumulation of a week. After the parade, we reorganized the regiment into its original ten companies; since landing at Ship Point, it has been consolidated into eight companies, as a matter of convenience for fatigue duty. Weather turned cold last night.
