            <p><name type="weather">The morning was bright but it kept up windy, and cold as any winter day.</name> We had a
               sermon from <persName>Mr Malory</persName> about 3 o'clock and dined at five. We have been having only
               two <objectName>meals</objectName> for several days - breakfast at nine o'clock and dinner at four. The day
               was observed in the fleet. There was no work done, except this evening there were
               one or two <objectName>schooners</objectName> brought up. We had a chance to send <objectName>letters</objectName> to-day as we
               understand there is a mail to leave tomorrow. I wrote one l<objectName>etter</objectName> to the Chronicle
               and one yesterday to <persName type="John Linn">John</persName>. Everything appears to be ready. I heard that <persName key="General Ambrose Burnside">Burnside</persName>
               said he would not move on a Friday or Sunday: on the first because of the
               superstition connected with it, on the latter because it was not right. There are
               5 or so little <objectName>tugs</objectName> - very small - named, Lioness Champion, Tempest the smallest
               of all - and they look so bold and brave. rushing around.</p>
