[from the diary of Lt. John Tyler of the Letcher Artillery]
May 21st. Very warm today. Con-
-ducted N.C.O. drill at 10 ½ o’c, after-
-wards, commenced a letter to Jennie.
Had Battery drill at 3 o’c. After tea went
to see Col Marshall, sat with him until
tattoo. Then came back to my letter, wrote
until near 11 o’c then retired. Clouds give
evidence of a thunder shower. We had one
last night.
