April 20. – It rained to-day, and I had to start with Waterman’s train to go over to Major Spaulding’s. I moved it to a point a mile the other side from the railroad, where I was relieved by an officer from Major Spaulding. The Regular battery reported to General Benham, and had Captain Wood’s old train assigned them.
