Washington Jan 18th 1862
There has not been any thing special
a going on in camp since the 12th intil
to day we had a regimental drill
which was a change in the programme
and is more active than the saber drill
for this cold weather. Jan 19th I was
on guard duty to day and had some
fun with the officer of the day and
played a nice game [on with?] a thief
20 I did not go on drill this fore
noon this after noon we drilled in
the marches and wheelings. Jan 21 when
we was on regimental this morning the
Lieutenant Colonel got us paraded
and then he thought he would put on a
little style so he [clapped?] his spures
to his horse (which was a little black
horse that belonged to one of the Captains)
and drew his saber and off went the
horse into the woods with him the
[continuation from bottom of pg 4] morning and snowed all day
