� 156 June 23, 1862 Courteny's House.
We are having today a hot sultry day. Hardly a breath of air seems stirring. How uncomfortable it is! General Court Martial sitting again of which Col. Jackson is the President.
Many foretold last week an engagement for today. But they must be greatly mistaken. Everything is quiet as a lamb.
Jimmie came over last evening to see me and we had a grand talk about home, the burning of Central block and the supreme importance of father's bass viol. We have already had ten grand laughs over that affair.
C'est bon.
