May, Thursday 15, 1862

Franklin

The rain is letting up but the sky remains cloudy.

Our men are still on picket duty.

In the meantime I am coping (sic) (copying?)  the muster roll of our company.

Afternoon about for o'clock the report reaches us that De Leyer, Company C, very ill, remained behind in a farm house about three miles from here. An ambulance is leaving to get him and about nine o'clock at night he was delivered into the Franklin Hospital. We were told that on account of the bad conditions of the roads, not to expect crackers before Saturday night. I have the opportunity to buy a turkey for $1.00. Lieutenant Dross is to go to Washington to get our baggage organized and also obtain books for the company.
