Weather warm and pleasant this morning.
I am Officer of the Gaurd this day find
our new regulation as gaurd more strict than they have usually been I
have to be up all night to night and not allowed take off any of my
equip-ments. Capt. Wells is Officer of the day. I like him much.
Got a letter & box from Jane dated
Feb 16th some time ago but I am very much pleased to get even old
letters. she sends me 2 books and some papers which were also very
acceptable to me. I also got one from my Mother which was written in
expectation of an answer from me before leaving Fortress Monroe.
