3.4.16Mon 3rd5 oclock reveille this morning & is to be from now on; The troops do one hours musketry every morning before breakfast, & a route march this morning after breakfast; It seems unnecessary to give them so much work when they have been so long in the Army & the days are too hot for comfort when doing no work.Baxter took sick a couple of days ago & has pulled out of the Sigs, I give them work daily
