Sunday, June 15, 1862

Did nothing this
day.  Some members
of the 37th Band were
here to day
Played for Guard
mounting.  Jo went
and traded with
the 12th Band for  their
tuba after which he
found the lost slide
of his horn lost yesterday
He then went and
traded back.  All this
trouble the result of
drunkenness
Played this evening
and again for tattoo
Rained quite hard
this afternoon
