2 December 1861

Monday, 2nd Pleasant. E.I.R.B. James 3-4-5. Pleasant and cold till 10 A.M., then snowed. I attended school at Gen. Paine's, then went to town. Saw a review there. Went to the shoe makers, had my measure taken. At night we had the promotion supper, oysters and wine. Several got drunk. Toasts were offered and all was life.
