1861 December 18

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

No news to day partickular
Drilled this fore noone
had some of a time
had Batalion drille in
the after noone the Colonel
has gone to cincinnatti
for a spell he will not
give the privates any
a furlough the boys
do not like it mutch
for they like to go home
and will go if they have
to make a stampede
for cinicnnatti
the pay master
has not come a round
yet to pay us off
but will be a long
soone I hope if not
sooner

MSS 13405
