Wednesday, April 6. — Morning cloudy, but towards noon it cleared. Rode into town and put $398 of Foley’s into hands of Adams Express. Major went with me. We stopped at Holland’s to get some oysters, and witnessed some everyday occurrences in this town, such as officers treating their men to drinks, etc. The 3d New Jersey Hussars came in last night. Had battalion drill. I took command of dress-parade. Corporal Jones had his chevrons taken off for absence without leave, in presence of whole regiment. In the evening felt very tired and sick.
