Page 1: January Camp Franklin, Va. 10,, Rained yesterday and so today we have to wade through mud ankle deep to pay for it. Stayed in doors nearly all the time. Sang a few hymns with J.A.A.P. like- “A charge to keep I have”- Also tried to sing with small success that stirring piece, commencing:- “Who are these in bright array”- couldn’t think as J. did about the claims of spiritualism and the views of “Tom Paine”- Give me Pauls [sic] view of Christ and Him crucified- Then I can be happy. Otherwise only miserable- This Evening wrote something to L. and mother. Also studied tactics somewhat. Am thinking of home and when I probably shall visit it again. |
