            <p>We had company inspection, had the Col, Lt. Col, Chaplain &amp; his brother to
               dinner. We had to buy an extra white plate yesterday. Dick [saked?] up a <objectName>white tablecloth </objectName>- turkey &amp; cranberry sauce, beefsteak tomatoes, pickles, pound cake
               &amp; apples graced our board. Col. Bell asked for water, &amp; Dick went out
               &amp; recruited a half dozen big tins &amp; that with the tin pitcher made him
               look like a tin pedler.</p>
