About noon
I supposed that the Doctor would have used the sergeant as an illustration of his doctrine that there is nothing unnecessary or false ; certainly Willis encouraged us . The weather was better and the day 's work not hard . We moved but a short distance , and bivouacked . About noon I was aroused from sleep by an order to report to Colonel Blaisdell . I had no notion , of what was wanted of me . I had never before been individually in his presence . I wondered what it meant , and hastened to his headquarters .
