Sunday – February 23d ‘62
Spent the day in Camp – No drills or
Evening parade, weather cloudy & unpleas-
-ant. No orders for marching yet –
The roads are so bad that the Artilery
cannot move – There are six pairs of
cannon stuck fast in the mud
at the mill between here & Wmsburg –
Genl Magruder is said to have given
up the movement he was abt making
Played chess with Harry & Ben today
beat Harry two out of 3 games & Ben three
out of 4 games giving him the odds of
one castle, did not read a line today
The boys had four chicken fights today
old Zolly took a brush – We have
a target shooting tomorrow for
a Silver cup put up by Maj Beard –
Nearly two months since I have rec’d a
letter from Carrollton!
