Feb 18 - Good news by mine from Elyria this a.m. Mother and some are doing well. I am thankful. Should like to see them. Cloudy and mud. Funeral of poor McCoy p.m.
Col. Herrick returned.
Feb 19 - Extremely windy and cool. Wrote, talked with men and Capt. Wright. A gentle expostulation for profanity. A new kitchen for Bradford. Some acid stomach.
Feb 20 - Beautiful cloudless day. Went to battery and prison and deserters in fetters. Got mittens for soldiers from Lottie but no letter. Rather disappointed.
Feb 21 - Heavy rains till about 3 p.m. Good letter from Ella. Felt a little down hearted and cold. Divine things. Felt better in prayer in evening.
Feb 22 - Cold and windy. A happy Sabbath. Good bible class a.m. and read in hospital. Distributed over 200 tracts not neglecting officers, teamsters and the battery. Letters from home and Ella. Stern sick. Mrs. Nelson of Elyria dead. Ella well. 34 guns from fort for Washington's birthday and at dress parade part of his address read. The anniversary of the regiment's departure from Ohio noted and prayer by me. A delightful prayer meeting in evening.
