Friday
March 7
Slept out behind some boxes in
the gangway with Gird.Slept
very well. Today have been reading and
talking with the boys. They have great
times fooling with each other. Henshaw
lay on his back on the floor and carried
on like a little boy. This evening one of the
Milford came in and we sung all
the tunes in the Soldiers Hymn Book.
