I wrote to John C. Haradon and copied letter to Sibley. Lieut. W. Kinney and I examined the report of hospital. Artillery and horse power ar...

I made out returns and wrote two letters. An awful snow storm came up just in the evening. Hospital walls caving in. Private Small, Co. D of...

The days are so much alike I have given up noting the doings of each as it comes. Since February 1st our meeting-house tent has been repaire...
