This week has been a very busy one to us all.
On the 21st three men of the 2nd Vt regt were
drummed out for cowardice in the recent battles.
Gen. Mc Clellan has reviewed the different corps
this week. On the 23rd had another tedious brigade
drill, new tents have arrived and were pitched
in rear of the park. a machinist from Fort
Monroe is at work on the vents of our guns
which were blown out at Glendale. The
fortifications in front of the battery are
finished, and we now have one of the
best and neatest camps in the whole army.
On the 25th had another severe drill. During
the afternoon of the 26th, the rebel cavalry drove
in our piquets, but as soon as we could
send them reinforcements, they recovered
their lost ground, and caused Mr. John
Henry, Rebel to get up and get in a very
decided hurry. at six P. M we were reviewed
and inspected by a Col. of Art’y of Mc Clel-
-lans staff. About seven P. M a thunder
shower came up and it lasted unpleasan-
-t all night. To day were inspected by Capt
Platt. The weather this week has been
Pleasant and extremely warm
