THURSDAY 30
Did not feel much worse for “wear” today for my long walk yesterday. Attended to business in the office as usual, got my months salary $150. Came home about 1/2 past 2 o’clock and with wife and Juliet went to the Prests to see some troops reviewed by the Prest and Genl Scott. The 14th & 9th the German Regt and the Garabaldy Guards, 4000 in all. Went on to the Av’e, after was at the National. Saml Androus joined his Regt. Came home before dark, little boys sick.
