L. A. Manning and I
off duty. Weather being fine, we decided to take a long walk out into the
country. Passed a few farm houses. Came to a small school house where we heard
the music of a violin. Looking at the building and listening to the music, a
gentleman came out and invited us in. He was the teacher. It being Saturday
there was no school. He was practising on the violin. A fine looking young man.
Inclined to ask us many questions, which we avoided answering. His sympathy was
with the South all right. We were about four miles from camp. Returned very
much pleased with our tramp. Maryland is a fine country. We had passed through
different sections of it.
