1861 December 15

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

I came of guard this
morning pretty nigh
froze for it was awfull
cold we had generl
inspection on the
Guyan River to day
we was out about
2 hours marching
round and showing
off I feele very well
to day I was very
sleepy though the
boys are all tolerable
well there is not many
in the hospittal now
the boys are having
their fun with
one another in
their way of all the
cuting up you ever saw
