Tuesday, April 19. — Court-martial finished the case of Jones, also McCartney’s, and began on McClellan’s case. I was called as a witness in McClellan’s case. General Stevenson[1] was here to-day, and John Jones. I am glad to say that General S. is to command our brigade, to be composed of the 24th Massachusetts, 10th Connecticut, 56th, 57th and 58th Massachusetts Volunteers. We had a visit from Mrs. General Burnside, Mrs. Richmond and several other ladies. General Ferrero, Colonel Coales and Colonel Goodrich were with them. They waited here some half hour. General S. dined with us. Had a letter from Hannah to-day, and received my photographs.
[1] General Thomas G. Stevenson, of Massachusetts, killed at Spottsylvania on May 10, less than a month later.
