Beverly. — A cold night. Clear but foggy this A. M.
No orders to march yet. Good! Provisions and provender, i. e. rations and
forage, scarce and poor. Captain Qark, a spirited German (Prussian) officer of
the "Greys," dined us yesterday at Widow What's-her-name’s hotel, Got
letters here from Lute, Uncle, and Mother, with a Testament from Mother. Shall
read it “in course” — through I mean; begin now.
