Diary of Private Edward W. Crippin, Tuesday, February 4, 1862

Weather moderate.     snow which had fallen to the depth of 2 Inches is fast disappearing mud mud everlasting oh how awful mudy it is. Very dull to day. No news of any consequence. We are all hopeful however that the expedition which left here will be successful. Roll Call now at the usual hour of Dress Parade.
