This morning we find eighteen inches of snow on the ground.
Wading through the deep snow reminds me of a picture that I have often seen,
Napoleon Bonaparte before Moscow. Duty must be attended to, no matter what the
weather may be. The snow makes camp life very unpleasant. The heavy fall of
snow at this time of year is a very great surprise, so the inhabitants report.
