8 - 12 Feb 1863

Feb 8 - Mild and muddy.  Good bible class.  Read a chapter etc. in hospital.  Good service and full congregation at Methodist church in p.m.  Eve a good prayer meeting.  We have orders to leave for Corinth.

Feb 9 - A short hunting excursion in the bottom in p.m.  Admired cave lakes and holly.  Capt. Wright wants to sell me his horse.

Feb 10 - Rainy.  To post hospital and saw four of our men.  Struck with comfort of hospitals.  Evg a good prayer meeting.  A revival of religion in my heart.  Share unusual peace and desire to do the divine will.  Evg a good prayer meeting.

Feb 11 - Lovely spring morning.  Went to corral and saw neglect about hospital.  A servant sick in a little tent.  I prayed with him.  He thanked me.  His wife much worried.  To tea at Mrs. Gray's.  Rebel ladies [?] too dull.

Feb 12 - Cooler.  Clouds and wind.  Col. much impressed by his visit of last night.  Copied company rolls most of a.m.  P.m. errands in town.  A dear letter from Ella.  Seems rather cheerful and hopes my not coming is for the best.  Proposed a regimental church at prayer meeting evening.  13 names to begin.
