1863-03-27 -- 1863-03-29

Fri.  27.  The weather is assuming a very agreeable aspect, the health of my men is improving.  I received a letter from Carrie containing ten dollars.  I commenced a regular course of drill with my Company again.  I forgot to mention that our Colonel fell from his horse yesterday, and skinned is face very much, he was not otherwise injured.  Nothing else of importance occurred.  

Sat. 28.  I was officer of the day today.  In the evening I went to the theater.  Had some difficulty with the Provost Marshal, on account of his assuming too much authority.  This was a cold night.  

Sun.  29.  Reported the Provost marshal to general Buford.  This morning some of my men who had been detailed as fort guard refused to come to inspection, I then appointed others in their place and ordered the former to return to their quarters.  I went to the Catholic Church in the evening.  Weather cold.
