5 May 1862

Monday, 5th Rainy in the morning, but pleasant in the after part of the day. We landed at Pittsburg Landing this morning and I went ashore and found our train here from the regiment and put my trunk on a wagon and rode with them to the regiment which was at Monterey, about 12 miles from the river. Owing to high water in a creek we could not get to the regt. to day but camped till morning. I read the first five chapters of Proverbs to day.
