A great time this morning wishing one another a Happy New
Year. Robinson bought on the outside a dozen apples and gave us all a treat.
Nothing but corn bread to eat and very poor quality. Dr. F. L. Lewis, Vet.
Surg. 9th Mich, cavalry, came in to day; was captured at Dandridge, East
Tennessee, where our regiment had a severe engagement. Tells me all the news.
Col, Acker wounded, etc., etc. Thinks it a queer New Year trip, but also thinks
we will be exchanged before many weeks.
