1861 December 12

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

I am cook today
I made coffee and
slap jackes for breakfast
and fried pot pork
we have no meat
but pork and that
nothing but the fatest
kind dinner was
slap jackes and pork
and water super was
coffee & crackers and
pork There was a man
came in to day with
a load of pies The
boys stole prety near
all he had and
he started to go away
the boys held his wagon
but finaly he got a
way from them
