Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Benjamin F. Pearson, Sunday, October 5, 1862

We had a shower while on dress perade I have put in the day making out pay rools for our company & it has not been a source of much comfort to me but knowing the wants of the boys & all the other company being at it I reconcile it as a military necessity. I got K P Morrison to preach in our tent & I exorted & closed after him text ye will not come to me that ye may have life
