Yesterday I was on
guard for the first time since I went soldiering. I cannot say that I
particularly like the fun, but it gives one an opportunity of thinking over
past sins, and meditating new ones. To-day I have been cooking, and, to the
great joy of my mess, I made a good pot of coffee out of rice and sweet
potatoes. The small-pox is on the decline.
