Huntsville, Thursday, June 16. Pleasant day. All quiet. 10th Minnesota
arrived by rail 9 A. M. 3rd Brigade marched in from Decatur 3 P. M.
Roddey made a dash upon the place before they were barely out of sight,
driving the 100-day men inside their works, and the Brigade of Dodge's
Corps had to go back and drive them off. General hospital is being
moved, patients sent North and the stores and goods farther south.
Visited the pest hospital in the evening, where two of our boys are

Corinth, more clean, having soft beds and good treatment.

Huntsville, Friday, June 17. All well and quiet. Very hot. Spent most of

Huntsville, Monday, June 20. Quite warm. Health very good in camp. Seven

Huntsville, Tuesday, June 21. Rained all day. Everybody is quiet but
busy, preparing for the morrow, packing knapsacks writing letters, etc.
Upwards of one hundred fifty letters left the Battery to-day. Enoch
