February Sunday
2,,
Camp Franklin, Va.
It is now evening. The
day has been quite pleasant and
I have enjoyed myself well. The
same old health is beginning to
return to me.
Chaplain Adams loaned me
Nelson on Infidelity and I have
been reading it today. It’s
argumentation is very clear
and satisfactory. He is going
to let me have Horae Paulinae
by Paley, too. I am especially
pleased with such books.
My “Patent” Scrap book enlarges
perceptably [sic] every day. Good letters
received last night from Portland
friends. “Lions Advocate” this
evening.
Charlie comes tomorrow
Lieut. B & I are going to receive him.
