This day provd very
pleaseant. I was of duty. Should be glad to have some news from home to amuse
my self. No regard is paid in general here to sacred time. This day I heard a
band of musick at the commanding officers tent while they were dineing, which
was very delightfull, tho in my opinion not so seasonable on such days of
sacred appointment.
