The wind has blown furiously from the southeast all day.
It's by far the most disagreeable day of the winter; commenced snowing about 5
p. m. and now at 11 p. m. there is eight inches on a level. My application to
go before General Silas Casey's board for examination for a field office in
colored troops has not been returned yet; shall put in another to-morrow.
