A good spell of
weather just ended. Drilling, boating, ball-playing, and the like make the time
pass pleasantly. Last Sunday had a Mr. Little preach to us on the bank of the
river. Several young ladies, a good audience of soldiers, and a good sermon.
Mr. Little brought a sort of hand organ and was the chief musician — an
eccentric, witty man, capable and zealous.
