Fri. [November] 7 [1862]

heavy snow storm. How the boys cheered the fatigue party
in derision.
shemarching thro. snow -- quite cold last night --
but slept warm. the elections in N.J. & N.Y. have gone demo-
cratic, that is bad. Hope McClellan will coop up Lee
& catch him now -- as an offset to this --
The entire Reg. 27th N.J. are just marching past thro. the snow
storm on 2 days pickets amid the cheers & jeers of our boys.
Wrote letters, visited sick &c. Col is out now playing
football with men amid the driving snow, & the loud & many
laugh rings thro. the Camp it is good exercise & will
warm them up
todaythis cold day.
