Friday 26th
A warm sultry day. Went to school feeling very ill indeed. After school went to Mrs. Casey's and after tea walked home. Kittie was with me. Found the folks all gone to visit the Insane Asylum. Read the paper and went to bed.
Saturday 27th
Mr. Craig called this morning to see about the arrangements for going to Fond du Lac next week to the teacher's Association. I wanted to go very much, but want of money and other reasons will keep me at home or rather at school. News tonight nothing of importance. Telegraph reports somewhat more reliable, state the number of killed and wounded to be much less than at first supposed. Our second Regiment lost about forty men. Gen. Patterson has been superseded by Gen. Banks, and Gen. McClellan has taken Scotts place as commander in chief of the American forces that noble old General being to old to sustain the duties of so arduous an office he will remain however as McClellan's advisor.
Sunday 28th
A bright pleasant morning. The 6th Regiment started for Chicago at nine o'clock. Pa went with them. Went to church Rev. Mr. Harwood from Cincinnati preached. Arnier[indecipherable] Main sang in the choir, she has been gone two years. Services at the Church this afternoon but I did not go. Went to the Congregational Church this evening.
