98 I returned to my regt

News last night that Gen Sheridan has given the rebels in the upper Potomac an awful whipping. I think I shall go to the regt tomorrow so I will close this.

Sept 22d A rainy morning. After sick call I went to the First Me Cavelry and staid untill one o'clock PM. Then I got ready and went to my regt. Arrived at three o'clock and found them just where I left them a week ago. One Benja [Benjamin] Gerber came to me to know if Nathan Winslow of Ashland was in this regt. I found out that this man was a cousin of Artemas + Nathaniel Coffin. He is in Co G 9th N.H. Vols and looks like Nathaniel Coffin

23d No news of importence. We had a good brigade drill.

24th Went on picket at seven o'clock A.M. The prisoners were chopping trees and hurt one of our regts men by a limb striking him. One of the 16th Michigan regt got his leg broken in the same way. This is pay day.
