27th. Funny Sabbath—unnatural +
unpleasant. This Evening Chamberlain
sits in my tent + I talk to him
about “my chum”, read bits of
his finest letters, play to him on
the Piano, + hear the young Rebels
story. The drummers however must
stop in the guard house tonight.

28th. Sergt. Armstrong sends me
present of “Speers” + fine letter. Received Excellent testimonial
from the Adjutant General or
Page 35:
Attorney General of State of Maine,
through Col. D. Father sends my term
bills + I write L. for the stray
one. Binomial Theorems, the 4
forms + Problem of the Sights. * * * Madame Lemoine another
French lad helps me read
from “Literature d’Enfance,”
while I advise her how to
get her son released the Service. [sic]
