Sat [November] 15 [1862]

Lovely day -- Sergt. Co. G. called said he had lost his little girl of 5
yrs -- Angelic disposition -- He is an Elder in Pres. Ch. & excellent man
teacher -- intelligent & sensible --very much overcome counseled & prayed
with him. Busy on Ch. & choir organization -- Hymn Bks &c.
Visited hospitals as usual -- one man Wescott -- very sick -- delirious
Typhoid fever -- Baker brot. in mail to distribute & said we
were ordered to march to Manassas tonight. No confirma-
tion of it -- but perhaps Col. Blunt's Brigade is to go &
we may follow. I trust we may stay here til Mon-
day & not waste another Sunday in moving.
