Wednesday, 7th Pleasant. E.I.R.B. Proverbs 11th, 12-13-14-15. To day is warm and very pleasant. The forest is green and beautiful. I am officer of the day to day. My foot is not well but I have reported myself for duty as officers are scarce in the regt. Gen. Davis's Division was reviewed this afternoon. I saw and had quite an interview with Mr. J. W. Cavill this eve. The rumor is here that Yorktown has been evacuated. I feel quite lonely to day and busied myself by writing letters to some friends and walking out to look over toward the enemy. The sight is beautiful as ridge after ridge appears in view.
