Wednesday, January 3, 1866

Baton Rouge, LA

Clear a cold but not unpleasant. Did not sleep quite unclear last night. The 55th colored Rgt left in the night. Spent the forenoon is the office doing business + reading the papers. After dinner went to the arsenal purchased cartridges + for my carbines. Bought 200 cartridges at the rate of about $31.00 per thousand. All of unclear the unclear officer was very kind. Since supper had been sitting in my bed + thinking what I shall say to the Regt tomorrow. There is very little news. I retire now at 10:15 o'clock-- a fine week fire is burning + the sheets are turned down invitingly
