Since the last date we have been visited by a cold rain,
hard wind, hail, snow, mud. Very disagreeable weather for army life, but it
must all be endured by soldiers. On picket duty. Corporal in charge of the
outpost, about one half of a mile from the reserve quarters. On duty
twenty-four hours from 3 P. M. We like the change from 9 A. M., the old custom.
