he puts on so many airs. He is getting about as bad as the Major and he does not alow an officer to associate with a private or hardly speak to them. The Maj. is a good man on the field of battle, but in camp he is a tirant when he can get the authority, he is at present in command of the Regiment as Col. Rutherford is the Senior Colonel of the Brigade Commanding the Defences of N.O. and is now Acting as commander of the post. We hear nothing about Hazard or any more of his Recruits of late wonder what has become of them. Should think it time all those recruiting officers to return. Presume Hazard is cutting quite a dash round Alton with his fine cloths. Hope his commission will do him good but I should not like to be in his place with the same feeling towards me by the company then there is to him. Our Sergt. Maj. has received his commission as second Lieut of the 4th C.D.A. He leaves for Port Hudson to morrow. I have nearly filled this sheet but with what? Gossip. I will hurry and close it for fear some body will read it Should not much like to have it read by the head of the Department. If they should happen to see it I doubt if they could find out who it is from. So good night Love to all From you loveing Brother Carl
