�21 February. 7 Camp Franklin, Va
Have been spending several days in Alexandria of late searching for brother Charles who has now arrived from Maine. C. came out to find me and we both returned to camp yesterday forenoon. We did not spend a very pleasant night together. B. acted poorly.
Today the Captain has gone to Mount Vernon and I am left in command. During this forenoon have been studying "McClellan's bayonet exercise." and like it very much.
Am also writing an article on Alexandria and its sights for the Lion's Advocate.
Am in excellent health. So are Jimmie and Charlie.
