23 - 27 Feb 1863

23 Feb - Cold but pleasant p.m.  At home to try to see the people but couldn't get a pass.  At least 2 negros die there daily out of 13.  A letter from mother Howard.  Ella doing well.  Anxious of not hearing from crew[?] evening.  Major Saye gave a supper to officers.  Pleasant.

24 Feb - An uneasy night, with head ache a.m. but passed off.  The supper caused it.  Lovely day.  At hospital in a.m. was vaccinated. Dress costs us high.  Have to manage.

25 Feb - A rainy, stormy day.  Visited in tents etc.  Eve preached at contraband corral.  A class meeting and earnest prayers and hand shakings got met on return.

26 Feb - Rainy and story.  Camp ground not muddy.  Rain puts it [?].  Sent Capt. Wright's gun back.  River high and more sickness than ever at contraband corral.  Full prayer meeting.  Might [?] visit one company daily.

27 Feb - Fair mild day.  Find satisfaction in visiting tents.  Have talked with two or three on religion.  Have been busy and happy this week.  R[ail] R[oad] car was through to Columbus Ky.
