[from the diary of Wesley Hammond, Confederate soldier in the Dixie Greys (42nd Virginia, Co. E.)]


Read 26 chapters in bible 25
and 20 pages in Milton’s Paradise
Lost. in evening battalion
drill and dress parade. Good
deal of grumbling in Camp about
something to eat. Day – beautiful.
Nothing of interest transpired
in camp to day.
