<Old Janus doth appear
Peeping into the future year,
With such a look as seems to say,
The prospect is not that way.>
A cold windy day, this New Years day finds me sick in the Hospital. One year ago today I was aboard the car speeding away
from home but I wish it might be so new. we had a good New Years dinner considering our circumstances, the Christian Commission
furnished us with Turkey Chicken for the Regt. is in camp about 5 miles from us it seem[s] very dull. I have many new resolutions
before me and hope I may spend this new year wiser and better than the last. [a clipping is above text]
