Cold as ever but no wind to mention. Lieut E. P. Farr left
for Vermont this morning; spent three hours this afternoon in the chapel with a
class of non-commissioned officers who desire commissions in colored troops,
and have requested me to hear them recite in tactics, etc., daily, before going
before a board for examination in Washington, D. C. Received a letter from
home; all well there. Carl Wilson is about entering a drug store in Montpelier,
Vt.
