Mon [March] 30 [1863]

Clear & cool -- froze last night -- Saw J[oseph] B[rewton] on beat, seemed
very sad -- had been praying all night & had not found him yet.
A man (backslider) stopd. after meetg. I spoke to him --
he burst into tears & sobbed violently -- seems determined to
return or at least desirous to do so.
At request of Chapl. Hyde met Chapls. Miller & Hanson at his
place -- Called on Sergt. Peter Smith at 69. Maj. Butler & Col.
Murphy very polite -- attended dress parade funny little boys
for drum corps, introduced Col. to R.C. Chapl.
held prayer meetg. & while writg. late in eveg. up came Grey
Called me out of mess tent -- wanted me to pray for him
deep distress -- counseled & prayed with him --

Private William L. Grey, Co. D., 25th New Jersey
Chaplain William Lyman Hyde (1819-1896) of the 112th New York, another regiment at Suffolk in the spring of 1863
Chaplain John Wesley Hans0n (1823-1901) of the 6th Massachusetts, also at Suffolk in the spring of 1863
Chaplain Daniel Henry Miller (1824-1896) of the 15th Connecticut, also at Suffolk in the spring of 1863.
Butler does not mention the name of the Roman Catholic chaplain. By checking the names of Roman Catholic chaplains in "Faith in the fight" edited by Brinsfield, Davis, Maryniak and Robertson, against the locations of their regiments in the spring of 1863, only one priest was found: Paul Gillen (1817-1882) of the 170th New York.
