Page 73: March 28 We had no brigade drill because Kearney would not let us have the ground. He is a brave and generous fellow I think. I remember him at Fairfax Court House and the little scene in the street when an orderly reported himself with a deserter from the rebels. It was exceedingly interesting. Still the loss of a brigade drill which the General felt much at first was more than compensated for by the drill afterward of a regiment in connection with a battery of artillery. The drill was reported again this afternoon – and it has set them all to thinking. Genl. Barry attended us this morning. Capt. Arnold this afternoon. An old letter from father +mother reached me today. |
