�My first ??????
Before I can comense (sic) my army journal I will sketch a few events earlier, as the excitement of war as it came threw [sic] letters from my relatives at {?} Penobscot County Maine, and papers to Masardis, Aroostook Co. Maine where I had made it my home since August 17th 1859.
When war was declared against the rebelious [sic] states by the US government I had an anxious feeling to take an active part in the strife, at least for enough to learn something of military life, for it always gave me pleasure to hear martial music and see a line of troops in motion. I had two brothers, one Sidney W. older, and one Prentis [Prentiss] M, Clark younger than myself who volunteered in the 1st ME Cavelry [sic] in the summer of 1861 and as soon as I heard of that I was anxious to go to the field with them, but many of my friends advised me not to hurry.
