November, Monday, 4th 1861 Pleasant. E.I.R.B. II Cron. 33d Col. 3d. Nothing of importance transpired to day. We had no drill for the boys were fixing their kitchens. To day I resolved to myself that I would yield to the invitations to take a drink of liquor no more and by the blessing of God I shall abstain from the fashionable tippling among the officers.
