Transcription: A rainy day. War news of no account. No work done today. Received a letter from my friend Helen M. Sweet. In the evening answered the same. --------------------------------- Sunday, May 14. Early this morning started for Alexandria, took passage on board of the steamer Thomas Colyer and arrived at Alexandria by 10 a.m. Visited a few moments with a friend N F,J. And then started on a laborious search search to find the 179th NY. At 12½ arrived, visit my cousin, spent the day and night with him. I’m surprised to find him looking so well. Visited many places of interest, assayed there a picture of the old battlefield of Bull Run, procured several mementoes. No letter received or written. [In a different writing ink or pencil the following is added] I threw Journal NY, thanks for saint.
