1862 February 22 Camp Union

[from the diary of James Dinsmore Templeton, musician and private in the 23rd Ohio]

[on top of this page in the diary is a printed vignette of George Washington]

24 Guns fired to day
in honor of the immortal
patriot whose bust graces
the head of this page
did not go to Guard mounting
played the national [?]
went to the mill and
procured the balance of
our bread also a pound of
butter
It has been raining most
of the day rained last
night
