New Year's Eve —
the last day of the year — a busy day with me. A review, an inspection, and a
muster of the regiment all by me; also an inspection of McMullen's Battery.
Yesterday received letters from Platt and Dr. Joe. The little stranger is more
like Birt than the others and smaller than Rud. Birch indignant that he isn't
big enough to drill! — A lovely day today. Twenty-six fine days this month; a few
[of] them cold, not severely so, but all good weather. Lucy getting on well.
Good, all!
