Baker and I were out prospecting; caught one muskrat; set two traps. I sent a letter and $2 for some books at St. Paul.

I made a mistake in not detailing a sergeant. The guard house torn down. Company D's quarters used as one. Sent letter to Col. M. J. Thomas. Caught two muskrats. Bake and I were out prospecting. Set 6 traps.
