Dec. 18-24
A rainy sunday. Go in the evening to prayer meeting in the University Chapel. Get home Monday and that night get very deaf. Can scarcely hear at all. Have to give up my school. A letter from Lydia. Jimmy [Minor] is at home on a furlough. He will join the Army after Xmas. A long letter from Sally. She and Jabe are still at Cuthburt, Georgia. Jim Buckner turns up this week. He belonged to Sam Eastin's party but was wounded by bushwackers in Western Virginia and had to be left. He got well and succeeded in making his way here. He seems an intelligent boy. He will try to make his way to the Trans-Mississippi Department; commands a Company there.
