Cold northeast wind; am told by the Commanding Officer I
shall probably get an order to go to Washington to-night; am hurrying to finish
my clothing rolls; twenty men reported to-night for the Ninth N. Y. Infantry;
don't believe I shall get an order to move after all to-night. Well I suppose
this is all necessary to make a soldier!
