Diary of Private Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Friday, December 19, 1862

Near Oxford. Bright and sunny. The delightful weather succeeded in enticing most of the boys from their well worn decks and cribbage boards, bringing them out in ball playing, pitching quoits, etc. Tallied for an interesting game of base ball.
