Feb. 14th, '63

Early this morning
the sun shone out bright-
ly, but before long it
was obscured by clouds, --
shortly after noon
it commenced rain-
ing & has rained all
afternoon & continues
unabated, (9 P.M.)
Although to-day is
St. Valentine's day, I
have rec'd "niver a
letter."
Feel quite well to-day.

Feb. 13th, '63

Still regaining my
health, & strength.
Clear nearly all day,
but quite cool.

Feb. 12th, '63

Cloudy & some rain.
Feel very well to-day.

Feb. 11th, '63

Still recovering health
& strength, I hope.
Clear & pleasant to-
day.
Have pains in my
joints, premonitory,
I fear, of rheumatism.
I neglected to mention,
in its proper place, that
the country around No-
lansville & Triune is very
hilly & broken, in places,
even mountainous; but
from Eagleville towards
Murfreesboro it is low,
flat & marshy.

Feb. 10th, '63

Still feel quite well,
but very weak.
this ^'morning' went out of my
room, for the first
time since I entered it.

Feb. 9th, '63

To-day passed off quiet-
ly & Oh! how wearily, a
sick man only knows.
I am rapidly convales-
cent, to-day.

Feb 8th, '63

cloudy & cool today.
Feel much better to-
day.
Firing of musketry, & ca-
nonading, heard on our
right again today.
An attack was appre-
hended this morning.
