The nights are nice and cool and the weather is moderate. We have seven men on guard and three on outpost. We go through our regular routine of drills. Things look very suspicious everywhere. One regiment sailed on the Arizona under sealed orders and more are to follow. All men are kept in their quarters. Frank Brain and fourteen more are on the sick list and two are in the hospital. Shortly before Taps we received mail and one hour was given to us to read the same.
