In the morning did little of everything. Wrote to Fannies A.
and H. in answer to letter received almost three months since. In the afternoon
the service for the burial of three men was performed. Lt. Pike drilled the escort.
It seemed his whole ambition to get the men well drilled. He had an escort
drilling for one very sick man who had not yet died. Maj. M. and Adj. W.
boarding with us. In the evening attended a variety performance up town. Very
good for barren Fort Scott. Got home about midnight. Received no letters, a
little disappointed. Mr. Hawkins returned yesterday.
