�10 January 16 Camp Franklin
Am officer of the guard today and have taken up my quarters here at the guard tent. My books are with me, the "Clipper," and chum's brief note sent through Hall of Co A.
Cameron has resigned and Stanton is now Sec'ty of War. The President certainly displays firmness. Every movement indicates him as the man for the crisis. Cameron will go to Russia as minister. That is judicious. The stand which that country has recently taken in the matter of human shattelship will make Cameron an agreeable sympathizer. They say Blair will go out, too.
P.M. Studied tactics with Lieut. Stevens and Private B. Stevens till about midnight.
