1 - 8 June 1863

June 1 - I hear from Ella regularly.  She is pretty well and so is the boy I am happy to say.

June 2 - Hundreds of wounded arriving from Vicksburgh about his time.

June 5 - Several men taking small pox removed to pest-house.  I wish they had a chaplain.

June 6 - Great Union celebration in Memphis in commemoration of the occupation of the city by the Federals June 6 1862.  Speeches etc.  Not many of the aristocracy present.

June 7 - Fine day.  Tracts a.m.  Not quite so formal in distributing so many to every tent.  At 11 went to Episcopal church.  A good sermon and staid to communion.  P.m. preached to regiment and eve service at union chapel.

June 8 - Chaplain's meeting in p.m.
