Thanksgiving Day.
Weather fine. Our second one in the U. S. service. Some of the boys received
boxes from home containing good things which they divided with others.
Connecticut mince pies were all right. We had baked chicken prepared by a baker
in town. Our Thanksgiving in camp passed very quiet and pleasant. Excused from
all duty except picket and guard. These days are passing quietly, nothing extra
so far to perform. Kept busy most of the time.
December came in
quite pleasant. Weather permitting, drilling is kept up.
