14 April 1862

Monday, 14th Pleasant. We landed at Paducah and I went ashore. Several of the officers stopped here. I saw Lieut. Britt. I bought a trunk here and some other necessaries. Saw many of my acquaintances. We started again this morning for Mound City. We arrived there at 1 P.M. where the wounded were unloaded and taken to hospitals. I went to Cairo on a ferry boat and stopped at the St. Charles hotel.
