notable phrase
It would be of service to the troops if some arrangements were made that they might attend divine service on Sundays
finding the officers of the 11th Regiment much disposed to visit their homes frequently, I requested the Minister to give us a sermon on the 11th verse of the 11th chapter of the 2nd of Samuel
The Parson acquitted himself well inculcating the necessity that officers should be attentive to their duty &c and, after singing the 101st Psalm, we returned to camp
