The day was gloomy - sadly overcast - air windy & this evening it commenced snowing. We had a preaching by our Chaplain. "Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft," the text. This afternoon, Shorkleley Beaver & I took a stroll through the navy yard, town & cemetery. Everything has an air of decay.
The navy yard does not look like it did when I first saw it last spring. The old Battery looks natural enough. So the Cemetery. There are the graves of the Randalls, [?] & many old familiar names. As we came out of the cemetery, we met an officer with a [squad?] of men from the cavalry Regiment going to dig a grave.

This evening, Tom Grier and I went to the Presbyterian Church & came home through rain and snow. We saw several handsome ladies, one in particular. I got vaccinated yesterday, & this evening it itches considerable I have two slight scars on my arm, but they are very slight.
