January
19,,
Sunday.Camp Franklin,
Muddy, muddy, muddy.
No service either, James sick and
confined to his tent. Wants to get
his discharge, and think I shall try
to get it for him.
Sent letters this morning to
my chum E.w.H. and Dr. Shailer.
What a strange Sabbath we have
passed! No public worship, no singing,
no praying, no preaching, no Sabbath
school, no vestry meeting, no Sabbath
exercises at all.
Would that I might enjoy a
good old Sabbath like those we
used to have at home in Portland!
My faith looks up to thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary
Savior divine
