Wed.
Crossed to Brashear in the morning, got breakfast, & then went to see the boys in the Convalescent Camp. After this, went to the Island Hospital & saw Edwin Young—found him better than when he left Opelousas. The Dr. & nurse both spoke encouragingly about him. His diarrhea is checked, though he still has remittent fever. Returned to Berwick, & at 2 o’clock the Reg. crossed the river, & stacked arms near the 26th Maine. We expected to wait until tomorrow, but about sunset orders came to pack up & take the cars for Algiers tonight. Got on board at 10 o’clock, but did not leave till after 11. Arrived at Algiers about sunrise.
