The boys are all preparing for New Year's Day celebration.
Thus ends 1861.2
2 The last day of 1861 found our regiment
stationed as follows: Company K at Lookout Station, Companies B, G, K and H at
California, Companies A, C, D, F and
I at Fulton, all in the State of Missouri, and not far apart. They were
all in winter quarters, occupying vacant store buildings. We saw some pretty
hard service during the month of December, but only in the suffering by
exposure to the cold weather. — A. G. D.
