cess, and Monday was quiet. The battle was followed by twelve days of extremely fatiguing duty, which very few of the regiment bore as well as Lowell. He writes thus to his classmate Hartwell:— Our fight of the 31st and 1st was followed by the hardest work yet put before us,—ten days of unceasing vigilance in the face of the enemy. Rain or shine, night or day, we were under arms at the slightest alarm, and remained in line for an hour or two; we did not mean to be surprised, like Casey's division. For twelve days we kept on our clothes and equipments.
