SUNDAY 19
Time wore away very slowly
today.
weather pleasant be
fore noon but had a very
hard shower in the evening
I
spent the most of the day in
reading a book entitled no name
Any quantity of
stories in camp
today concerning the time when
we are to get out of the
Confederacy
If good stories should get us out we would
have been exchanged long
ago
