January, Monday, 19.1863. Still on the boat, but expect to leave to morrow morning. Attended theatre & heard "Leeper G Day" pretty well played. Came very near being arrested for being out after hours contrary to city orders. Set up until late talking. As the day has been stirring & unpleasant. Paid Freid ? Crawford which I owed him. Wrote to Mrs. Wickersham. Tuesday, 20. Morning still here & will be some time yet delayed. It does seem impossible to get away. Started just afternoon going some 30 or 40 miles & laid by for the night. Very pleasant on the boat. X 1— X Wednesday, 21. Started early this morning. Arrived at Helena before noon & laid by for an hour or more. Saw Col. Bussey. Saw Rice & Kittery. Sat until late before retiring. Pleasant & agreeable company on board.
