It is quite rainy. We are now in spring quarters. Some of
the boys in the regiment get teams from the quartermaster, go out to some
vacant house or barn, and get what lumber they want to build “ranches.” J. D.
Moore and William Green went out this morning with a team and brought in a load
of lumber, and then this afternoon we built a small house for our mess of four —
Moore, Green, Jason Sparks and myself.
