Spent the day in
camp and a very quiet day at that. A paper has been circulated among us asking
that the Rev. Mr. Parker, who preached for us once, be sent with us as
chaplain. I understand every regiment has a chaplain (a minister) to look out
for the spiritual welfare of the regiment. Judging from this one, they must
find plenty to do.
