1861 November 4

[from the diary of Francis G. Hale, Co. F, 34th Ohio Zouaves]

It has been tolerable cold for a fiew
days back and rainy but to
day the sun appeard out
thy young man that
shot his self died to day
they took him to camp
red house to send him
to cincinnatti to his
parrents we went that is
our company went a
bout a mile out in the
country to the pickets with
him with revers arms
we had musick and mar
ched with revurs arm the
first time that we ever
or any company of our
regimen went with revs
armes it was a sad sene
