June FRIDAY, 21 1861. Had our regular squad drills through the day I practice musket drill every eve, I can get on with it very well, it is rather complicated to a new beginner. SATURDAY, 22. It is very hot weather now which makes it rather warm drilling, Went down to lake Winnebago to bathe this eve, it is a beautiful sheet of water Borrowed 25 cts. of Grace, SUNDAY, 23. This is my first sunday in camp, what a sunday, to what it is in the ole Puritan state, the soldiers are going to Church to-night, I cant go. I don't feel well, I am very Costive, to-morrow I mount Guard, first time
