Captain Crowell has not yet received orders or approval to proceed to the camp. The Fremont Daily Journal reports this pending assignment and notes ongoing uncertainty in local military logistics during June 1861.
Report from camp describes monotony of camp life and officer passes. Rain slowed drill while new artillery company arrived from Detroit. Uniforms distributed to three years recruits. Old muskets to be replaced later. Health generally good with dysentery, colds, and measles present. A new sutler overseer appointed but accused of price gouging, prompting protests and attempts to curb profits at the camp store.
From Sandy Hook a late despatch note describes dull breadstuffs and steady provisions, with money easing slightly. Washington reports Gen Scott disapproving armed moves at Acquin Creek, while rumors of immediate hostilities near Marianas Junction prove unfounded. Updates cover Fort Monroe, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Baltimore, and rail and weapon production plans amid Civil War tensions.
