Again it is very hot all day. We have drill this morning which gives us more than we can really stand. In the afternoon, Joel Ridgeway and Milbert Johnson [and I?], we went back to the old battlefield and take a good look at the ground occupied by both armies so as to obtain better information. The position of both armies run really parallel to each other at a distance of almost 800 yards with outposts between them. These outposts are fortified positions some 300 yards advance of either side. These positions were maintained until the surrender of the city. Joel Ridgeway took several snapshots of our post which he intends to have enlarged on our return home. [Robert] Fox, [Frank] Hustead, [Charles] Collins, [William] De Bolt, [Frank] Brain, [William] Kennedy and John Baird are on the sick list but John Baird was taken to the Brigade Hospital.
