Review of the 1st. Corps d’armee
took place today. Genl. Slocum was
absent. Col. Bartlett took command of
Brigade. Russell L.L.D. of London
Times notoriety was there. I noticed
McClellan although he did not review
the troops.
Got an excellent letter from
Lizzie this morning, containing another
from Mrs. E. P. Shailer. They are pleased
with my promotion. Lizzie is
going to surprise me with something
in the Transcript. Good.
Got a fine letter from Edward
this evening, too.
