Cold but pleasant morning. Made a forage detail to go out
with brigade teams. Several of the boys played poker. Read some in Pope. The Iliad.
Gibbs strange fellow. Came into the army a professing Christian, a class
leader, today he is playing poker with the boys. I occasionally hear an oath
from him. Never saw a man more egotistical. Eats more than any three men. Still
a harmless fellow. Good talk about going home with Co. H boys around a big
fire.
