Retired at 2 a. m. last night; learned by heart before
retiring fifty pages in tactics; got up at 9 a. m. and went at it again; have
conquered fifty pages more to-day and recited them to Lieut. Farr: had them
fairly well learned before; only review; weather warm and comfortable; had a
dress parade at 5 p. m. This evening twenty recruits armed and equipped arrived
from Vermont for Company B; got some newspapers from cousin Abby Burnham
to-night.
