Aug 24 - Col. Sheldon called on Col. Herrick to my surprise. Not quite well but going back. Col. Swayne left for Ohio.
Aug 25 - Remarkable change yesterday a.m. Clouds and chill wind. It is strengthening. Men have requested prayer meeting every night except when on guard. I urge religious thoughts and reading in regiment.
Aug 26 - We begin to eat. Clear but cool day. Am stupid and weak. By request attended funeral of a soldier in 63rd O[hio VI]. P[rayer] meeting in eve. A supper given at G[?] house to Gen. Grant. I was not invited.
Aug 27 - Fine and cool. Rather weak. A letter from Ella but too short and in pencil. In p.m. to town on business and eve a pleasant call at Col. Boyd's with Col. Herrick.
Aug 28 - Rained most of the a.m. I studied. Often feel tired and weary in my work. Have prayer meetings every evening except when on guard. Bowels some sore. Chilly weather.
