Dear Journal,
July
18th, 1863
What
most people misunderstand is that we do enjoy having extra time to do things
other than fight. Sometimes we only have 30 minutes;
sometimes we have weeks in between battles. Some of the men drink a lot, some
smoked and chewed tobacco when we have it.
Artsy men sculpt boxes, figurines, and pictures. Almost all of us keep a
diary or journal, and write lots of letters. Not a lot of people read, but if
they can they mostly read the Bible. We do gamble a lot. We once invited
Robert. E. Lee and Ulysses S Grant (at different times of course) and both
denied, sadly. I’ve had a couple Church services between the battles, too. I
love listening to other soldiers’ stories. They always seem to excite me. Songs
are pretty nice, too. I am very tired now. Good Night.
Sincerely,
Loved
Soldier
I like this one the most :)
