Rainy to-day. went up to the
guard-house at Seven and staid
till a little after nine, and then came
down being relieved, and got my breakfast

religious magazines, which Chaplain James

Sung this evening. Have not enjoyed the
day very well, but I still cling to Christ
my Savior in whose merits alone I trust.
