April 28 1862 On board Stn's S. R. Spaulding in Cheeseman Creek }
Here we are, still afloat. Almost two weeks since we embarked at Alexandria and no active operations yet. Nevertheless I am enjoying myself pretty well. Capt. Rodgers often repeats the saying of the Irishman: -- "If this be War, then may we never have Pace."
The General accompanied by a few officers rode up to Yorktown today and had a look at the lines. I was "staff officer of the day" today and reported to division head quarters at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Nothing for me in the mail.
Report tonight says that New Orleans has been captured by our troops. Glorious if true.
