November, SUNDAY, 3, 1861 To day clear & cold had no inspection. took a walk down to the river and took a look at the "sacred soil". the Pickets have rather uncomfortable quarters. MONDAY, 4. Our Camp is called Camp Joholt in honor of Joseph Holt, we all like our camp it is so retired and quiet. TUESDAY, 5. I saw to-day when going out of Camp a string of Mules & horses I should think it was a mile long they were all going to water at the Brook, such a neighing and braying I never heard Before.
