Saturday, 8th—Quite pleasant today. We cleaned up our clothing and accouterments for inspection. We are getting fixed up very nicely in our camp and all are feeling fine. Only a few of our boys are sick and in the hospital at present. I loaned George Toyne (Company E) $25.00 today, until next pay day.[1]
[1] Mr. Downing explained that Toyne’s family at home was in need and that it was a very common thing for a single man to loan a married comrade money to send home to his family.—Ed.
