SUNDAY 14
This has been a cool day, almost too cold for comfort. Troops have been going over the River today and others leave early tomorrow morning. Something will be done soon. I went out to church with wife, heard Chaplin of the 2nd N H Reg’t. His Regt leave[s] in the morning for Virginia. Went down to Willards with Lieut. Swan. Saw Mr Pomeroy (MC) and other gentlemen, heard no particular news, quite a crowd there. House full of Military and (MCs).
