Fort Gillem, Friday, Dec. 23. Clear and cold this morning. On guard again. The detail comes around quite often now. The privates’ roll is decreasing as the officers’ increases. Issued clothing. The topic is, are we included in the late order ordering all detachments belonging with. Sherman to report immediately via New York? Would much like to take the trip, but would rather wait a couple of months.
