Page 18: January 27,, Am feeling pretty well today in body – something I have not been able to say for a long time. Still I am going to keep off duty till the five days are up for which the doctor excused me. Orders from Washington have come requiring us to practice the Bayonet drill, and now books are distributed among the various companies and we have fairly commenced. Good say I. Last evening received a splendid letter from chum and a copy of his piece spoken at the Senior Exhibition entitled:- “Sadness of enjoyment.” |
