Thursday, November 3. — Rain-storm continued, making it cold and gloomy. Wrote Mother. Nothing new. This evening during the storm the officers upstairs had a plank run out from the window on to the roof of the adjoining house. It remained there an hour and a half before the sentry discovered it. He fired five or six times at it. The officers were luckily afraid to try it. Sergeant White was on as officer of the day.
