Downing’s Civil War Diary.–Alexander G. Downing.

Monday, 7th–Things are quiet and there is no news of importance. Our chief concern is taking care of the sick, as the weather is yet quite hot. This is a lonesome day with so many of our company sick in the hospital, while six are home on furloughs and three more are soon to go. This leaves but a few of us for duty. I tell you, it looks pretty discouraging.
