We adjourned and I got back just as the Regiment was moving off. The review was by <persName>Gen. Burnside</persName> at last. The New York.<pb facs="https://leaf.bucknell.edu/sites/default/files/2026-01/diary09.jpg"/> <fw>Camp Union, near Annapolis Md.<lb/> December 20, Friday, continued 1861.</fw> 57th came just in time on double quick. <persName>Burnside</persName> is a fine, sharp, dark eyed looking man, and rode a beautiful horse. He has black hair and whiskers along the side of the face. The review passed finely in the same order, as the other days I spent the afternoon in looking of <persName>McClellan</persName>s bayonet exercise. This evening <persName>Gib</persName> and I went to town, called at <persName>Dr Claude</persName>, to see <persName>Miss Burton</persName>, but she was not at home. Going along the street we met a miserable looking white [man?], worse with whiskey, who was asking a negro wench to go home with (him). "I don't want company" "I can see myself home." We went into the <placeName>National Hotel</placeName> but recently opened. I remembered the last time I was in here, sick and weak and miserable. I enjoyed the hospitality of <persName>Mr Monroe</persName> and his pretty little wife. Last Spring - I had been officer of the guard all night - attack witih diarrahea - he took me there - put me in the nicest whitest bed so it seemed to me - I had not seen a bed for [three?] weeks - and told me to sleep until 2 o'clock when they dined - I had been in bed but an hour when he came and awakened me, saying that he was sorry to disturb me, but that orders to march had reached <orgName>the Regiment</orgName>. I had been sent for. I jumped and with a [larity?], at which he seemed surprised - & with a cup of tea I bid them goodbye - my last look was at his pretty wife. I got a glimpse of them as the Regiment marched past. He has gone to <placeName>Frederick</placeName> where he has a female seminary in successful operation. He moved about two weeks before we came here.</p> </div> </body> </text> </TEI>
