Another man died last night. I had
been talking & praying with him day before.
visited all the sick, gave little books talked & prayed
Went to Every tent of men -- Also rode to picket out-
posts -- after dinner wrote letter about poor Simpkins
found same on picket, sick, ordered Ambulance --
Attended funeral of S. buried in grave yard close by
Camp -- Our regt. went on picket at 9 A.M. & at 11
the 15th Conn were ordered to relieve them & we to be
ready to march at moments notice. Some think
it is to Texas. Some to Manassas. Some to
Harpers Ferry, & some only to review. tomorrow
drizzling day. feel better but strange no letters
from home in long time --
Regt. came straggling ^'in' thro. the mud & darkness --
till near one oclk --
Private David Simpkins, Co. D, 25th New Jersey
