list of casualties. He informed us that the sick and wounded were
gathered in a company hospital about a quarter of a mile to the south.
We remained in the general hospital until

Corinth, Tuesday, Oct. 7. The doctor came to take our names to be sent
to a Northern hospital as they had no room for us [in the general
hospital]. I asked permission to join the Company hospital, which was
granted, so in the afternoon we joined our comrades; found the wounded
all in good spirits.

Corinth, Saturday, Oct. 11. The Battery returned from its chase after
the retreating rebs, of a week in length. In the evening the Captain and
Sergeant Simpson rode into our camp, the Battery being in camp two and
one half miles out.

Corinth, Sunday, Oct. 12. To-day it was a little warmer, the rain of the
last two days having cleared. My anxiety to visit the Battery was such
that I was induced to start out on foot in order to see them. The walk
was rather fatiguing as it was rather warm, but we found them at last on
a ridge in a shady grove. But it did not look much like the camp of the
6th Battery, as they had no tents pitched and were quartered in brush
bivouacs or under tarpaulins; I found them all well but somewhat reduced
by the march. I remained with them for an hour, then retraced my steps
alone through the solitary woods. I enjoyed pleasant thoughts of the
good times to come. I reached camp by sunset well pleased with my walk
and not as fatigued as I expected.

Corinth, Monday, Oct. 13. The troops on the outskirts of the town were
all moved in, among which were the 6th Battery. They passed our
encampment at about 8 A. M.; their designation was unknown but supposed
not to be far. Quartermaster-Sergeant Simpson brought new clothing to
camp in the afternoon. I drew one jacket, pair of pants and a hat.

Corinth, Tuesday, Oct. 14. Having learned the locality of our Battery,
it being encamped on the south side of the town, the wounded men were
removed to the general hospital, and the sick were taken to the Battery,
with the exception of N. B. Hood and Byron Babcock.

Corinth, Thursday, Oct. 16. I joined my Platoon, went into tent with E.
W. Evans and T. J. Hungerford as before. Owing to my weakness I was not
put on full duty immediately, being excused from mounted drill, etc.
