This is another fine day but the sun is out hot. The nights are cold and we can make use of our woolen blankets. The church bells all over the city are sending out greetings in sweet tones; and, in every kitchen in the companies of the different regiments there is great activity. For breakfast, we had coffee, potatoes and steak. For dinner, we had quite a variety which we all enjoyed: coffee, sugar bread, pie (baked by “Soapy”), baked beans, roast beef, roasted potatoes, peaches and ginger snaps. We also received $3.72 each in cash out of the fund from our hospice. For our supper we chose to eat in the city. Most of us went to the Opera House where we listened to a good service by Chaplains Hunter and Fleming. Everybody seemed to enjoy himself under the circumstances. The same men remain on the sick list.
