a warm calm, lovely day. the regt. is ordered to
be vaccinated -- & today Gen [Silas] Casey reviews 3 Brigades
ours -- The 5 Vt. & the Me. Regts. I had just mounted to go on
review when back came the Reg -- we break camp soon as can
get dinner & march to Fairfax Sem. to relieve [Gen Daniel] Sickles Brigade
All is stir & bustle now -- Mr Campbell called & dined with
us -- Struck tents after dinner. I stayed to see part of camp
equipage packed & then rode after regt. a pleasant rolling
country. boys in good spirits. fine day -- found camp of
Gen [Joseph] Hookers Division just vacated, a dirty looking place
but Col. D[errom]'s tact soon put a new face on affairs --
pitched as we could for the night -- on summit - a
hill -- overlooking valley of Potomac on east & a narrow valley
on west
