Can’t<\/span> understand why no letters
\nreach me from Maine. Am much
\ntroubled about it. Have written this
\nmorning to Mr. Coffin, Col. Dunnell
\nand Col. Jackson.\u2014Saw Mr. Leonard
\nyesterday, and he promised to mention
\nme to the Governor.<\/p>\n

Nothing<\/span> from home yet. This
\nmorning sent another letter to
\nMr. Coffin with one enclosed for
\nMr. Drummond.
\nLast<\/span> night severe thunder
\nstorm. Hot today.

Pope’s<\/span> address is disgusting
\ntrue, soldiers are not to talk
\nand trouble themselves about
\nlines of supply and strong positions,
\nbut these are very good things for
\nthe General to think of.
\nMilitary<\/span> men already laugh
\nat him. France had her carrot
\nbut Napoleon had to replace him
\nbefore Toulon was captured.

We are still annoyed by
\nthe enemy\u2019s batteries down the
\nriver and will continue to be I

I<\/span> see that some of the
\nGovernors are going to appoint
\nas field officers in the new reg-
\niments men who have been
\nserving actively in the field. This
\nis right. In such a way experienced
\nmen will have command.

Not<\/span> a word yet from home or
\nfrom any one even. What am I to
\nthink? Are the mails suppressed or
\nwhat does this really mean.
\nThe<\/span> N.Y. papers come regularly
\neach day. This morning I read
\nyesterday\u2019s and yet no letter can
\nreach me from Maine.
\nToday<\/span> have been engaged in
\nwriting recommendations for a
\ncouple of boys in Co. H, and indicating<\/p>\n

Last<\/span> night I received a letter
\nfrom Father and Charles containing
\nvery bad news, namely that mother
\nwas quite sick. I spoke of it to the
\nGeneral this morning and he expressed
\nhis sorrow adding it was a bad time
\nto receive such news now.
\nThis<\/span> morning passed an
\nunusually pleasant season in prayer
\nand meditation on divine truth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n
