A little warm rain last night: cloudy and threatening rain
in morning; turned off bright and clear. Had a good drill after evening parade.
Moved into a good room in a pretty cottage house owned by J. H. Phillips, a
drygoods dealer, who has left with the Rebels. His store was burned by McCook's
men because he was a persecutor of Union men. Captain Sperry and Lieutenant
Kennedy are my co-tenants. We shall take good care of the premises and try to
leave them in as good condition as we find them.
