1861 December 16

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

I was today promoted
to orderly sergeant
for the Adjutant I carryed
around the details
for guardes I had
a good time we received
lots of thinges from home
to day we had a bully
dinner to day of things
from good old home we
have a large store
box full of eatebles
left we had an oyster

ate with us we had
lots of fun and all
of the boys had a
different smile on
their face to day they
got blankets from Waynes
