      Funny Sabbath - unnatural & 

unpleasant. This evening Chambelain sits in my tent & I talk to him about "my chum", read bits of his finest letters, play to him on the Piano, & hear the young Rebels story. The drummers however must stop in the guard house tonight. The Sergt. is right.

     Sergt. Armstrong sends me 

present of "spurs" & fine letter.

      Received excellent testimonial

from the Adjutant General or
