16 January 25. Got Surgeon's certificate and leave of absence from camp to be gone for five days. Walked larger part of the way into city, and had ride on an ox cart with an Irishman who upon my asking him if he knew Thomas Francis Meagher replied "Och! Thomas?" "An ould acquaintance." Tried to find place to spend a few days. At last put up in hotel. Took heavy supper. Eat, during the day, apples without stint, a very sour pickle and two oranges. In evening visited market house and had some adventures Went to bed early and slept well.
