The most important event was our first Thanksgiving in camp.
Passed very pleasantly. A good dinner, with games of foot and base-ball. The
day closing with dress parade. Many visitors from Baltimore and some from
Connecticut. The weather during November was very fine for camp life. Barracks
were built for winter quarters to take the place of tents.
