May 27. — We received orders to have three days’ cooked rations on hand, and to be ready to start to-day, but the order was afterwards countermanded. I went with the general to headquarters, and from there to General Wright’s headquarters. I then went down to the picket line, and delivered a message to Colonel Wistar in regard to citizens passing through our lines. Saw a Lieutenant Fisher in the evening, of Harvard ’56. The day was pleasant.
