1862 April 25 Camp Hayes, Raleigh, Va.

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

Friday, April 25, 1862
Played for Guard mounting
did not get up until
near that time
Alex came in this
morning quite unexpec-
tedly  brought letters
from Father & Aunty
Hays brought two
shirts for me one
dollar in stamps
5 dol in silver
also [?] company
Rained all night
Streams quite high
In getting water
I lost our tin bucket
down by the old
run mill this morning

MSS 1037
