1862 June 10 near Richmond, Va.

[from the diary of Jonathan B. Hager of the 14th Regulars]

June 10  Today was rainy, disagreeable and cold.  No comfort
              to be found anywhere but in bed, where I enjoyed it
              nearly the entire day reading & sleeping. Retired
              about tattoo realising the momentous fact
              that an immense amount of sleep can be
              borne in Camp life.
