Arose this morning
very much refreshed
after my night's sleep
on the hard ground,
on the N. side of the
road running E. & w. just
E. of Jeffersonville, Ind.
Immediately after breakfast,
we "fell in"' & marched down
to the O. river S. of
our former position; where
we occupied the tents --
a novel to to this Reg't -- e-
vacuated by the 81 reg't.
Ind. V.I., which had crosse-
ed the river to dig trenches.
Was highly gratified
this morning by receiving
a visit from "Son" Randolph
the first Monroe County
man I've seen "since out."
It's a pleasure to grasp
"in friendly embrace" the
hand of an old friend, &
acquaintance, down here
in Dixie". Very hot &
"rising." This evening se-
lected to act as adj't Gen'l
on Staff of A Brig. Gen'l Tay-
lor; was in the saddle all
night. -- did not sleep
one moment. Moved,
in the night, from
Camp Gilbert, Ind., to
Louisville, & are quar-
tered in the street
