[from the diary of James Dinsmore Templeton, musician and private in the 23rd Ohio]
February 17
Did not play for Guard
mounting practised as usual
officers came in to day
Major called then other
officers all more or less
intoxicated over the
news from Tenn & Ga
ft Donelson & Savannah
taken. Some of the boys
drunk Arthurs dead drunk
Gillett & Crotty came very
near having a fight
Had a parade to hear
the news read
Went out to night and
serenaded a little
rained some most of
the snow gone up to-
day
probably Alfred Arthur, Lewis H. Gillett and Joseph I. Crotty, fellow musicians
