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

Friday, Aug. 8, 1862

After Guard Mounting
the Battalion proceeded
to shift the position
of the Camp So as to give
more room for Drill at[?]
Camp. After dinner we
moved our tents back
a short distance back
and  erected a booth in
front.  At supper Jo had
a difficulty with
Campbell about Campbells
laziness Jo struck him but
nothing further was done
Parade an[d] drill
I hope the time is not
far distant that by
some hook or crook I can
get away from here by
discharge or otherwise
mostly clear very warm
