The weather still continues boisterous. Hon. Portus Baxter's
son arrived in camp last evening with several other Vermont gentlemen. They
gave an entertainment at the Colonel's mess house this evening for the officers
of the Tenth. I did not attend. Lieutenant E. P. Farr returned from Vermont
this evening; received a letter from home.
