Wednesday, 12th Arose this morn quite sick. E.i.R. 3 chapt. in Bible. Remained at camp all day. Mr. T. D. Seawell and his friend called on me to day. This morn the "City of Alton" went with 2 companies to Columbus. Took down their Secession flag and brought it to Cairo. To day, as usual, my mind ran out over the bloody fields of the future. I study, my duty to my self and to my country, and I try to seek wisdom of the Lord. I think of home that I have not seen for so long. My prayer is Lord save our country.
