2 June 1861

Sunday, 2nd I am yet quite unwell but some better than yest. Heard Bro. George Compton preach yesterday. Received some letters. Read 7 chapt. in the Bible. Our reg. worked yest. on the fortress & the barracks. It did not seem much like the sabbath to me. I tried to keep my mind on heavenly things. I thought of home, the family circle and its associations. Surely, said I, there is no Sabbath in war. At night we sang several good old hymns, then retired to rest.
