Mount Jackson.
Day of rest. Terrific heat. I go the water where I find a wonderfully cool place where I am writing.
Lieutenant Gronen now engineer by General Millroy's Divison pays me a visit.
I see a compass with prism and exact degree graduator the price of which from the Government Arsenal is $12.00. Likewise his perspective navy glass $25.00 of superior sharpness. Some of our officers are drinking champagne supplied by Landmann as if it were beer. -
At night beautiful sheetlightning which is not like the regular sheetlightning, flashes of large flames like perhaps a large quantity of explosive powder? Doctor Idler opinionates it to be the reflection of a very distant thunder and lightning storm. Lieutenant Wexel tells me that he handed in his resignation, also of Captain Manyhardt's resignation.
