Monday.
Sent off the tents & baggage to the steamer “Empire Parish” late in the afternoon, & pitched shelter tents to spend the night in. the weather today has been cool, & this evening there is a very cold wind from the north. Stowed ourselves in the little tents & passed a tolerable night, tho’ some of the men suffered with the cold. The Chaplain returned yesterday from B[aton] Rouge & informed me of the death of Corp. Titcomb. He died at the Measles Hosp. & the Chaplain attended his funeral. Lt. Richards took charge of his effects & will send them to Titcomb’s uncle in Bangor. Wrote a letter to T. H. Wiggin of Levant, informing him of T’s death, & giving him some account of his sickness. I also wrote to Mrs. Gerald in regard to the sickness & death of her husband.
Finished my letter to Father, & sent it off.
