Just camped for the night. Feeling very tired. He and his friend John Banks decided to stop at 9:00 PM one night to get some rest while the army moved on. Found a good orchard to sleep in. Later caught up with the rest of the army at about 2:00 the next afternoon. "I believe it is decided to keep the 6th Corps here and not send them back to the Army of Potomac again." Knows they are worried about Sid, but is convinced he is fine. Thinks he will be exchanged sooner rather than later. Knows Grant cannot control everything "here, there, and everywhere. I never thought he was a supreme being." Gets all the mail that comes to the division headquarters, so they should direct their mail there.
