Rained all day most of the time very hard - Purchased this diary in the morning for $1.75 - Was at the office in the forenoon - Afternoon spent in my tent cleaning up the Burnside carbines which I have [unclear] from the Pro Main Office. We fired oysters at a restaurant with Dr. [unclear] Summer Friday next fired for the muster out of our Reg't-- the mayor invited me over to dine but I had already supped.
