1862 May 24

[from the diary of Jonathan Hager of the 14th U.S. Regulars, as copied at a later date]

May 24  Saturday   Next day 23d it became pleasant again but on
Saturday we were visited with a cold
relentless rain which confined us to our tents
the entire day. The only comfortable place
was in bed where I passed nearly all the
hours reading & sleeping alternately.
