196 Fort McGilvery, Va. Thursday March 9th 1865 Went to City Point today and bought a dress Uniform Coat, for which I paid $34 00 After returning to the regiment Mr. McGrath, our regimental Sutler, who is a Taylor by trade told me the coat did not fit me nicely and suggested that I let him take it back tomorrow and get another, to which I consented. He will only charge the amount of his R.R. fare. I have at various times did a number of things for him without taking any thing for my trouble and for this reason he says he wants to see me well fitted Francis Starwick, of Co. B, was wounded.
