Cloudy and windy this morning, but it cleared up about noon;
fine evening, too, but no moon; have been over to the theatre, but hardly got
paid for my trouble except for the novelty of seeing a theatre built of logs.
It is as big as a city theatre, is of fine rustic work and a curiosity. It was
built by the Engineers and is handsome. Of course in a big army like this there
is plenty of fair theatrical talent and some excellent. The band came out this
evening and played a few pieces, the first with their new instruments; am at
work on Company B clothing rolls; will finish in about two days.
