Diary of 2nd Lieutenant Lemuel A. Abbott: Tuesday, February 23, 1864

A very pleasant day, but lonely in camp; dancing in the chapel this evening; moon shining brightly, and not a breath of air stirring, but for all this I can't study; no letters from home; all's quiet as midnight save the music in the chapel.
