Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Lemuel A. Abbott: Monday, January 11, 1864

Another fine day; have been very busy attending to Company matters; also received many calls — in fact it has taken me a goodly part of the day to entertain visitors. Capt. Samuel Darrah, Herbert George of the band and Lieut. W. R. Hoyt have just gone and now comes Lieut. E. P. Farr, and it's after 10 o'clock; haven't studied a bit to-day, yet, but I shall make up for lost time before I sleep.
