1862 January 5

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

very cold today and
very cold we had no
drill or inspection
it snowed some
and rained very
bad weather but we
have to stand guard
a bout every three
days the boys are
having some fun
a pleging a fellow
a bout a girl they
just put him through
on the short line
in miletary style
we have got the
Bakery done and we
will have good
Bread now I guess
