July 2-3

Wednesday July 2. We had a good deal of
rain since a few day past. I am
on gard today & it rained a good deal
the sentinells have not go to stay in
the rain but are taken in but
as soon as it stops they go out again.
We have but two gard tents &
these are most of the time filled
up with prisoners. I got two boards
out of my tent & laid them on the
ground & on them I slept. Some men
slept on the wet ground. Reports
continue about the tremendous victoree
near Richmond over McClellans
grand Armee.

July 3. Do not feel very well this mor-
ning. Had a sleight fever last night.
